PREFACE 



A VOLUME could easily be written on the history of the 
several branches of the de Wolf family in Europe ; but, 
according to the plan outlined by the author of the present 
genealogy, the writer will confine himself, in this preface, 
to the origin of the name and the relationships in Belgium, 
Holland, Germany and the Russian Baltic Provinces. 

It must certainly be a matter for satisfaction for the 
numerous representatives of the de Wolf name and blood 
in America, to know that there are few families in the 
United States, and indeed in Europe, which hold such a 
distinguished position, in so many different countries as 
the de Wolfs. This statement may, at first sight, seem 
exaggerated, until it has been explained that not only do 
the de Wolfs belong to the oldest aristocracy of Flanders, 
Saxony and Livonia, but that in the present generation, as 
in the past, the representatives of the family in these coun- 
tries have now an enviable name for themselves in public 
life, in the domain of literature and science. 

During the course of my travels, and almost life-long 
residence on the Continent, more especially in Belgium, it 
has been my good fortune to become personally acquainted 
with leading members of the de Wolf family, among them 
being Baron Ariste de Wolff, of Riga, Livonia, now in the 
Russian diplomatic service ; and Baron Louis de Wolf de 
Moorsell, of the Chateau de Trevieres, Bracgnies in the 
Province of Hainaut, a well-known member of the Belgian 
aristocracy. Baron Louis de Wolffs ancestor, Maximilian 
de Wolf, son of Frederick de Wolf, a Baron of the Holy 
Roman Empire, had lands conferred upon him by the 
Emperor Charles the Fifth, and took up his residence in 
the neighborhood of Ghent in 1535. He was created a 



10 PREFACE 

baron in the following year. Several of Maximilian de 
Wolfs descendants held appointments in the French army 
and diplomatic service. Baron Charles de Wolf, Maxi- 
milian's eldest son, joined the cause of the Belgian people 
in their revolt against Spain at the time of the revolution in 
the Lowlands, in 1579. Baron Joseph Henry de Wolf, a 
great grandson of Charles de Wolf, after the cession of the 
seven Belgian provinces to the Empire, took up his resi- 
dence at Haarlem in Holland ; his son, Joseph, Baron de 
Wolf, became an Admiral in the Dutch service, and Gov- 
ernor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1751 to 1757. 

The Barons de Wolf, of Belgium, are closely related to 
the best known families of the Kingdom, and have inter- 
married during the past three centuries with the scions of 
the oldest aristocracy. Among the more noteworthy of 
these relationships are those with the Dukes d' Ursel ; the 
present head of this family, the Due d' Ursel, is President 
of the Belgian Senate, and a warm personal friend of King 
Leopold; the Princes de Ligne, whose family seat, the 
Chateau de Beloeil, is one of the marvels of Belgium ; and 
the writer's friend, the Vicomte de Spoelberch de Loven- 
joul, of the Chateau de Lovenjoul, one of whose mater- 
nal ancestors was the Baroness Theodora de Wolf. The 
Vicomte de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul is one of the most 
eminent litterateurs of the day in Belgium ; as the author 
of "A History of the Works of Honor e de Balzac,^'' "J. 
History of TheopMle Oautief s TFbr^5," "A Loiae 
Romance — the true story of Balzac and Madame 
Hauska^^'' and of several other works, crowned by the 
French Academy. The Vicomte de Lovenjoul' s renown is 
not only not confined to his own country, but has crossed 
the Atlantic. The Vicomte' s palatial residence in Brussels 
— with its library containing, besides all of the existing 
manuscripts of Balzac's novels, the unpublished corres- 
pondence of the great novelist with Madame Hauska — 
is perhaps the most unique sight in the Belgian capital. 

The legend of the origin of the name of de Wolf is 
practically the same in every country. According to the 
family tradition in Belgium, Frederick de Wolf's first 



PREFACE II 

known ancestor, Louis de Saint-Etienne, of the French 
noble family of that name, was one of King Charles the 
Fifth's attendants on a hunting expedition. During the 
chase, a wolf cub crossed the King's path ; Charles threw 
his lance at the cub, mortally wounding it, and breaking 
the weapon against a tree. An enormous she-wolf, seeing 
her offspring wounded, rushed from the forest upon the 
King, who had nothing but his hunting knife to defend 
himself with. Louis de Saint-Etienne rushed between the 
wolf and the King and despatched it with his sword, thus 
saving the King from the danger that threatened him. As 
a reward the King Knighted Louis, who, from this time, 
was called de Loup, and was the ancestor of the noble 
French family of that name. His grandson, Emile de 
Loup, accompanied the Princess Mathilda to Germany at 
the time of her marriage to the eldest son of Frederick, 
Elector and Duke of Saxony in 1423. Emile de Loup 
became a great favorite at the Saxon Court, and had the 
title of Baron conferred on him in 1427. He then changed 
his name from the French to the German, and was known 
afterwards as de Wolf. It was his direct descendant, 
Maximilian de Wolf, who founded the Belgian branch of 
the family. The ancestral seat of the de Wolfs in Saxony 
is the Castle of Crimmitzshaw. The arms of the family 
are : — Or, Three Wolves' heads, erased sable borne on the 
breast of an Imperial double-headed Eagle, sable-beaked, 
or, a Coronet of Baron of the Empire. Crest : Out of a 
Ducal Coronet, a Demi-Wolf, gules, holding in the dexter 
paw a fleur-de-lis, or. The motto: Vincit qui PatUur. 
He conquers who endures. 

The title of Baron is borne to-day by the de Wolfs in 
Belgium, Holland, Saxony, Prussia and Livonia (Baltic 
Provinces of Russia). This in itself might be of small 
importance, for the number of pai^venus with this or other 
titles of nobility is legion on the Continent. In the case of 
the de Wolfs the proof of their noble origin lies in the fact 
that the several branches of the family have borne coat-of 
arms for centuries. In the oflicial Archives Nohiliares of 
Belgium, it is recorded that the de Wolfs have borne arms 



12 PREFACE 

since the beginning of the sixteenth century, in Flanders. 
It may, perhaps, be hardly necessary to state that it is the 
right to use armorial bearings which has always been the 
distinctive test of nobility. Coats-of-arms in the early 
dawn of feudalism were the mark of the French gentil- 
homme as of the English gentleman. Consequently, the 
de Wolfs have, in the broadest acceptation of the word, 
the right to "that grand old name of gentleman., defamed 
by every charlatan and soiled with all ignoble use." In this 
connection it is a most noteworthy fact that the European 
de Wolfs have always looked upon their long line of ances- 
try as being in itself far more honorable than a mere title. 
They have always, let it be noted, retained the distinctive 
family name of de Wolf., and have never, as is so often the 
case, particularly in Belgium, allowed their original family 
name to be replaced by that of their estates. This pride 
taken in their name rather than in the title, recalls the 
splendid old motto of the Rohans : Roi ne puis, Monseig- 
neur ne daigne, Monsieur sius. — A King I cannot be, a 
nobleman I do not deign to be, a gentleman I am. 

Concerning the origin of the de Wolf family in 
America, there can be but little doubt from the investiga- 
tions the writer has made, that our first American ancestor 
was a scion of the Livonian branch, which is, itself, an 
offshoot of the Saxon branch. There is a well-established 
tradition in Baron Ariste de Wolff's family, that, in the 
early part of the seventeenth century, a younger son of the 
Baron de Wolff of that day, left Livonia to emigrate, pre- 
sumably to America, and was never again heard from. 
The crest of the Livonian de Wolffs, it should be observed, 
in this connection, is the same as that of the American 
branch — to wit: Out of a Ducal Coronet, a Demi- Wolf, 
gules, holding in the dexter paw a fleur-de-lis, or. 

The writer concludes this preface with a plea in favour 
of the original spelling of the name de Wolf. This is cer- 
tainly the only logical manner of spelling the name ; for 
those members of the family, at least, who bear the 
de Wolf coat-of-arms. In France and Belgium, only those 
families who have the particle "<?e" (in Germany "«07i"), 



PREFACE 13 

have the right to bear coat-of arms. In Belgium and Hol- 
land there are many family names with the prefix "i)e," 
which, in Danish and Dutch, means "^Ae," but this prefix, 
apart from the similarity of spelling, has nothing in com- 
mon with the French particle "c^e," and it would not only 
be absurd, but illegal, on the Continent, for the members of 
these families to use coats- of -arms, unless they had previ- 
ously been ennobled.

CHAPTER I. 



DESCENDANTS OF MARK ANTHONY DE WOLF. 



TN Bristol, Rhode Island, at one time an old town of 
■*■ Plymouth Colony, stands a De Wolf Mansion, always 
spoken of as " The Mount." It fronts upon what is now called 
De Wolf Avenue. Behind it rises "Mount Hope," the seat of 
the famous Wampanoag Chief, "King Philip." All this was 
once part of the extensive possessions of the Hon. James De 
Wolf, "in his time the dominant personality of the town." 
The sun as it gilds the roof of the busy city of Fall River, and 
glances across the intervening waters of Mount Hope Bay 
illumines the eastern windows of the old home while its declin- 
ing rays glimmer through the honey locusts, casting their 
shadows on the western porch. Then it sinks over the hills 
beyond Poppasquash, a peninsula where stands other stately 
mansions of the De Wolf family and the shores of which so 
encircle Bristol Harbor that its resemblance to the Bay of 
Naples has often been remarked; indeed those Italian waters 
are scarcely bluer than the beautiful Narragansett Bay. That 
fine old mansion, "The Mount," was for more than half a 
century the center of gatherings of successive generations of 
that branch of the family commonly known as the "Rhode 
Island De Wolfs." The walls of the long drawing-room are 
quaintly painted by hand, with scenes from "Paul and Vir- 
ginia," interspersed with panels on which slaves are seen toil- 
ing in rows of coffee plants on Cuba Plantations belonging to 
members of the family. These latter well typify two chief 
sources of the princely fortunes of the De Wolfs of that day — 
the slave trade and the West Indian trade. 

This house, colonial in style, is not earlier than the time of 
James De Wolf. His father Mark Anthony De Wolf, the first 
to settle in Bristol, the common ancestor of all the De Wolfs 



i6 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

of Rhode Island, lived in humbler homes both in Bristol and 
the neighboring township of Swansea. There is a much older 
house at the opposite end of the town, where the Town bridge 
spans a creek from which the old place takes the name " Silver- 
creek;" "Just North of the Town Bridge on the East side of 
the road stands," says Prof. Munroe in his History of Bristol, 
"the first house erected within the limits of Bristol." Built in 
1680, the year the town was settled, by Deacon Nathaniel 
Bosworth, it had within its walls, in the southwest room, the 
parlor, the first gathering for religious worship held in Bristol, 
Notwithstanding many exciting scenes and dangers, Indian 
Wars, the Revolution, the " Dorr Rebellion," the Civil War, 
the great "September Gales" of 1815 and 1869, it has never 
failed to shelter descendants of its pious builder. Descending 
through Ruth Bosworth and her son Judge Benjamin Bourn, 
it was inherited by his granddaughter Julia Jones, the wife of 
James De Wolf Perry; their sons, the writer and his brothers, 
own the place at this day. These old places have so much in 
common, as will appear later in our narrative, that it seemed 
fitting that they should be mentioned together. 

Charles De Wolf, father of that Mark Anthony who was first 
of the family to come to Bristol, was not, as has been frequently 
said, a Frenchman, but a good Connecticut Yankee. Born at . 
Lyme, Conn., 1695, the starting point of many New England 
families of note, with the spirit of enterprise characteristic of 
the family he emigrated to Guadaloupe, an island of the French 
West Indies, as a young man, establishing himself as a mill- 
wright, one of many of his race to be connected with the 
building and ownership of mills. The interesting essay of 
Mr. John M. Dolph, read at the Dolph Reunion, Aug. 21, 1901, 
at Kinsman, O., says that Charles before leaving Connecticut, 
" carried on a business, trading with the West Indies and went 
to Guadaloupe to facilitate this trade." Whether he married 
before or after leaving the country, the writer has not been 
able to absolutely ascertain, but one of the oldest of his Rhode 
Island descendants is authority for the statement that his wife 
Margaret Potter was an English woman and a member of the 
Church of England, in which faith she brought up her child- 
ren, two sons and two daughters. The oldest, Simon, returned 
to the home of his grandfather Charles in Middletown, Conn., 
as a boy. As he was bom in 17 18, he was only thirteen when 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 17 

his grandfather died in 1731, his youngest uncle Joseph and 
himself were lads of about the same age. 

"April 3, 1 73 1, Charles De Wolf (this was the father of 
Charles of Guadaloupe), of Lebanon, Conn., bought of Thomas 
White of Middletown, Conn., his dwelling house and about 19 
acres of land on the east side of the Connecticut River in Mid- 
dletown, now a part of the town of Portland. The town 
records give the death of Charles De Wolf as Dec. 5, 173 1, at 
the age of 58. His will, dated Nov. 4, 1731, was presented to 
the Hartford Probate Court, Jan. 4, 1 731-2. In the will he gave 
one-fourth of his personal estate absolutely, and the whole of 
his real estate to his wife Prudence during her widowhood; to 
his sons John and Stephen he gave 32 acres of land in Glaston- 
bury, that which he purchased of Thomas and Sarah White; 
to his sons Simon and Joseph he gave after their mother's 
death or marriage, his house and lands in Middletown which 
he purchased of Thomas White; to his daughters Prudence 
and Elizabeth, Sarah and Rebekah, three-fourths of the mov- 
able estate after their mother's death or marriage; to his sons 
and daughters in equal share he gave the land given to him by 
his father in the town of Lyme, " that is if it should ever be 
recovered." 

From the home of his father in Guadaloupe, the second son 
Mark Anthony was brought to Bristol, R. I., by Capt. Simeon 
Potter of that town. His visit to that island may have been 
merely in pursuit of trade. Possibly some tie of kindred may 
have existed between Margaret Potter, Mark Anthony De 
Wolf's mother, and the Potters of Bristol. Mark Anthony who 
had received his education in a French school and spoke 
several languages, became Capt. Potter's Secretary, in which 
capacity he sailed with him on a number of voyages. 

Arriving in Bristol, Capt. Potter seems to have had some 
presentiment or design, in introducing his companion to his 
family. Mr. Charles De Wolf Brownell, himself now one of 
the oldest living De Wolfs, remembers hearing in early days 
from an aged member of the family, that "when 'Sim' Potter 
brought home his man Mark, as they entered the door his sister 
Abby put her arms across the passage, playfully blocking their 
entrance. 'Let us in,' cried her brother 'or you shan't have 
Mark.' " Whether as a part of a preconcerted, possibly cous- 
inly, plan or not, Abigail Potter soon became the wife of Mark 



i8 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Anthony De Wolf. The scene of this coquettish reception and 
subsequent courtship was the home of Hopestill Potter on the 
southeast corner of Hope and Church Streets where in 1720, his 
son Simeon was born and which was burned by the British in 1 7 75 . 
How soon after his arrival in Bristol the nuptials took place 
it is impossible to say, for the date of the former does not seem 
known. As young De Wolf was only eighteen years old when, 
on the 25th of August, 1744, he became his friend's brother-in- 
law, the courtship was probably brief. Certainly brief was the 
honeymoon. In less than four months from his wedding day 
he was sailing out of Bristol Harbor with far other purposes 
than love making. Those were stiring times. War had been 
declared between Great Britain and France. Four months, 
less three days, from his marriage,. Mark Antony, on the 
Privateer Pyince Charles of Lorraine, commanded by his friend 
and brother-in-law Captain Sim Potter, was surprising the 
settlement of Oyapoc in French Guiana. The account of this 
remarkable naval engagement is preserved in a spirited letter 
of the Jesuit Father Fauque, translated and published by 
Bishop Kip. Invaluable to the Rhode Island De Wolf's would 
have been a description by this sprightly writer of their 
ancestor, Mark Anthony De Wolf. Bishop Kip simply tells us 
he was first officer of the vessel. William P. Sheffield of New- 
port, an acknowledged authority on the subject of Privateers, 
describes him more accurately as Capt. Potter's clerk. He 
may however, have been acting as second officer on this 
occasion. Of Captain Potter, Father Fauque tells more. As 
through his sister Abigail Potter, as much Potter as De Wolf 
blood flows through the veins of the Rhode Island De Wolfs, 
everything that throws light upon the Potter character, is 
interesting. Still more so, if, as we have suggested as possible, 
they have received a double portion of the same family traits 
through Margaret Potter, Mark Anthony's mother. And fiery, 
impetuous, adventurous, thrifty, often overbearing and impa- 
tient under contradiction, yet withal frank and in a way, gen- 
erous that Potter character was. As revealed even by this 
writer smarting under defeat, and personal loss, "if the daring 
little captain," as Prof. Munro says: "does not present a 
very pleasing picture," yet neither does he appear without 
redeeming traits. Allowance must be made for a writer who 
speaks of "Rhodelan" {/. e. Rhode Island) as "a little Republic

which had scarcely any intercourse with Europe, which did 
not pay any tribute to the King of England and had not even 
any silver money, but only notes for daily commerce" and 
who by these facts accounts for the crew in their pillage being 
"like a band of monkeys or of savages who had never been 
away from the depths of the forest." Yet his description of 
Capt. Potter the "Chief of the Corsairs," with "commission 
from William Gueene of Rhodelan" is not altogether to that 
officer's discredit. " He was a man small in stature, and not in 
any respect differing from the others in dress," writes the 
Priest. " He had his left arm in a sling, a sabre in his right 
hand and two pistols in his belt." He thought him "a young 
man about thirty years of age" — he was in fact only twenty- 
four. If the Sacred Vessels of the Church formed part of the 
booty yet "the Captain told me he would willingly give to me 
what he was able to return but that he had no control over the 
others; that all the crew having part of the booty, he was not 
able as Captain to dispose of any but his own share." In this 
Capt. Potter appears neither ungenerous nor unjust. If the 
roistering crew were "constantly drinking" the narrative adds, 
"I ought to say in commendation of the Captain that he was 
entirely sober." If "on Sunday morning" the Priest waited 
in vain "to see some religious service" the Captain took out a 
book of devotions (his Prayer Book), "and I noticed this day 
and the following Sunday he occasionally looked at it" and 
" he frequently expressed the pain he felt at the excesses of 
his crew to whom, according to the custom of these pirates, he 
was obliged to allow an abundance of liberty." He was the 
only one wounded on either side. Thus we see him demo- 
cratic in dress and in relation to his subordinates, not shrinking 
from personal danger but foremost in the fight, not without 
generous impulses, and in the midst of rough life and rude 
companions, preserving religious habits and moral conduct, 
and withal giving the impression as he presided over his ship 
of a man six years older than he really was. Hot blooded, im- 
perious and " proud as Lucifer" he undoubtedly was. When 
later galled by the condescending encomiums of officers of 
His Majesty's Navy, visiting the Prince Charles, he replied 
to their suggestion of applying for a commission and obtaining 
a larger and better ship — "When I wish for a better ship I 
will net ask His Majesty for one; I will build one myself." 



20 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

At times Capt. Potter was as fierce as he was intrepid and 
always impatient of contradiction even to knocking down his 
Rector, apparently as imperious as himself. For this "knock- 
down argument" he was fined ;^5oo. Neither of the hot 
blooded antagonists seemed to have harbored resentment. 
Capt. Potter continued to be a Vestryman of St. Michael's 
Church, and under Puritan oppression a valient defender of 
the English Chiirch to which he was devotedly attached, en- 
riching the Parish with many valuable gifts. He was also to 
the end of his life, a warm friend of his old antagonist's son 
and successor. Rev. John Usher, Jr. The hot blood did not 
cool with age. When about the time Bristol became part of 
Rhode Island (1646-47) he retired from active business to 
the enjoyment of no inconsiderable fortune for those days, he 
abandoned battling with armed foe and stormy winds only to 
continue to the end of his long life of 86 years, closing Feb. 
20, 1806, "rarely without some law suit or personal quarrel on 
hands." Hot tempered and easily offended yet he was certainly 
enterprising and most successful in money making. " Make 
money! Make money!" he replied to a less successful nephew 
inquiring for advice, "I would plough the ocean into oat 
porridge to make money." His sword did not rust after his 
retirement, nor his adventuresome spirit forsake him. In 1773 
we find him commanding the Bristol contingent to the "fleet" 
of nine long boats commanded and in great measure provided 
by Capt. John Brown of Providence, engaged in capture and 
burning of the Gasp^e. The testimony of one of the crew 
of that ill-fated ship as to Capt. Potter's stature differs from 
that of the Jesuit. "Tall and slim" the sailor describes him, 
" with a long nose, in light colored long clothes, his hair tied 
behind, looking more like a shore-man than a sea-man." Shore- 
men or seamen, the plucky party of Yankees under leaders 
like Brown and Potter, in the words of the popular ballad 
attributed to Capt. Swan of Bristol. 

" Set the men upon the land 
And burnt her up we understand." 

Thus shedding the first British Blood in the American Revolu- 
tion. A year later, having been for several years a member of 
the Assembly, he was chosen to fill the newly created office of 
Major General of the Rhode Island forces, and the following

year, 1775, during the Bombardment of Bristol by Capt. Sir 
James Wallace, he went in the hottest fire to the head of the 
wharf, hailed the British ship Rose and arranged to treat 
with the enemy. Thus could he face an enemy as bravely at 
fifty as he had at twenty-four, throwing himself with enthusi- 
asm into his country's struggle and so justifying his quaint 
doggerel still preserved in his handwriting by his descendants: 

" I love with all my heart 
The independent part 
To obey the parliament 
My conscience won't consent. 
I never can abide 
To fight on England's side. 
I pray that God may bless 
That great and grand Congress." 

Although young De Wolf became thus bound by double 
bands of kinship and comradeship to the wealthy ship owner 
of Bristol, he never seems himself to have attained any con- 
siderable fortune. Mrs. Middleton, a great-grand-daughter of 
his still living in one of the fine old De Wolf mansions, that of 
his son William, preserves the tradition however, that he was 
at least in more than comfortable circumstances when in 1778 
his was among the nineteen dwelling houses burned by the 
British. It was situated on the South corner of Burton Street 
and Main Street, having been built by Stephen Burton, one of 
the four proprietors. Impoverished by his loss, Mr. De Wolf 
moved his family to a safer distance from the defenceless 
coast, and on a farm in Swanzea, with the courage under re- 
verses that has characterized many of the family began indus- 
triously to repair his losses. It was of this time of struggle 
that in after days, when the great fortunes of his sons had 
rendered them famous, Mrs. Peck, mother of Mr. Viets Peck, 
used to tell of the stitches her mother would take in the gap- 
ing brim of his straw hat when he came down to Bristol to sell 
the berries gathered on his farm. Less kindly did his boys 
seem to take to farming. Several of them who had been sweating 
in the corn rows one summer day flung down their hoes declar- 
ing they would no longer hoe corn when they knew they could 
get places on their Uncle Sim Potter's privateer about to sail 
from Providence. So off they trudged upon the road to that 
city. As after their long dusty walk they emerged from 



22 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY, 

Seekonk Woods near the "old Red Bridge," James, the young- 
est but one of the party, becoming conscious of the dilapidated 
condition of his hat, and with the vanity of a handsome lad less 
resigned than his father to his appearance, cried out, " Boys, 
I'm not going through Providence like this," and flung the 
brimless crown— or was it a crownless brim? — into the wayside 
bushes. Bareheaded he presented himself with his brothers 
to his no doubt astonished yet sympathetic, bluff old Uncle Sim 
Potter. They secured the coveted places in the ship and thus 
began that life of devotion to the sea, which the sea was soon 
so richly to repay. After their return from this voyage, the 
boys' wardrobe, scant enough no doubt on the start, had not 
been improved. In reply to a remark of some one that William 
had barely enough clothes to decently cover him, " Never mind," 
said the stout old Captain, "the boy has come home covered 
with glory." 

Years afterwards, when the boys had grown into famous 
men, as William and James De Wolf rode in their stately 
coaches respectively of blue and yellow, into Providence, 
James ordered his to a sudden halt. Putting his head out of 
the window and pointing to a dilapidated hat which by some 
strange accident had lodged just where he had thrown his 
own, many years before, he cried gaily, "Brother William, there's 
my old hat." ' 

In later years Mark Anthony De Wolf lived again in Bris- 
tol. The following letter was written from that town but five 
years before his death. It is not the letter of a "ruder or illit- 
erate man," as he has by some been represented. If his early 
service on privateers caused some of the earlier biographical 
sketches of the De Wolfs to describe them as a "race of 
pirates," this letter of his old age is that of a serious. God- 
fearing man, whose counsels may well be commended to his 
many descendants :

"Son Levi :

The romantic incidents of the youth of James De Wolf 
were well worth a complete record did the limit of this work 
permit. He was twice captured by the British, many weeks a 
prisoner in the Bermudas. He could have been a lad of not 
more than fourteen or fifteen when he trudged hatless through 
Providence. In ten years he had amassed a fortune sufficient 
to retire upon, and live at ease. But to the day of his death, at 
the age of seventy-three, Capt. De Wolf was never inactive. 
When the war clouds of 1812 gathered, in opposition to the 
general sentiment of New England, he was a vigorous sup- 
porter of the war-measures. Undoubtedly the shipping inter- 
ests in Bristol had its influence in directing his sympathies, as 
it did with the merchants of Salem and Boston, of Baltimore, 
Norfolk and Charleston. Yet we cannot believe the bitter 
taunt of John Randolph of Roanoke, that the resentment of 
that period against Great Britain was the " mere effusion of 
mercantile cupidity." Unlike their brother William, who was 
a staunch Federalist, Charles and James De Wolf were of the 
Jeffersonian party, then called Republican, the sympathies of 
which were with the French rather than with the English. 
Some French influences and traditional sympathy from resi- 
dence in Guadaloupe may have made this leaning to the 
French side of the disputes more natural, although their father 
on arrival from his French home had quickly espoused Eng- 
land's quarrel against France. But what was likely to have 
had a stronger influence in his enthusiastic support of the anti- 
British party, is the fact that Capt. De Wolfs boyhood had 
been spent in the stirring times of the Revolution, and all his 
life had been passed in intimate companionship with the "old 
survivors " of that birth struggle of the nation. Gov. Bradford, 
his father-in-law, had been dead but four years, his uncle " Sim 
Potter" but six. Lafayette, while intrusted with the "defence 
of Warren, Bristol and the Eastern shore," and having head-

quarters at the house of Mr. Joseph Reynolds, now the home 
of his great-grandson, Judge John Reynolds, may have been a 
figure familiar to him in the streets of Bristol ; indeed he may 
have seen Washington himself on the 13th of March, 1781, 
addressing the people of Bristol at the "Town bridge." Gen. 
Varnum, at " Silver Creek," (the home of the General's brother- 
in-law, Judge Bourn), may have told him anecdotes of Wash- 
ington's camp ; or Capt. Perry may heve entertained him with 
tales of sea fights of that infant navy to the fame of which his 
son Oliver was soon to add on Lake Erie. Indeed, the mem- 
ory of days in gloomy British prison-ships must have deepened 
his resentment aroused by the recent losses of merchantmen 
from British warships. Mr. De Wolf therefore became not 
only an ardent advocate of his country's cause, but confident 
of her final success, not only influenced the banks in which he 
had controlling voice, to lend their funds, but advanced libe- 
rally from his private purse. He sent forth privateer after 
privateer to avenge alike his country's wrongs and his own 
losses. He accomplished both ends so effectually as to supply 
the strongest answer to John Randolph's scornful prophecy 
that England's merchantmen would not, as in the Revolution, 
"become the prey of paltry privateers." He soon had so far 
recouped himself, that he could with grim humor re-name the 
British ship Shannon, the Balance, and another privateer 
which soon followed her, the Remittance. Though none 
could surpass in speed the McDonough, none brought such 
rich returns as the Yankee. She netted a round million of 
dollars in prize money, a large part of which went to increase 
Capt. De Wolf's now rapidly accumulating wealth. 

Only upon such services to his country, and such as we have 
seen his father rendered as a British subject against the French, 
could the accusation be founded that the "De Wolf's were 
pirates." It is hardly the part of patriotism to so name the 
owners and commanders of privateers when the great Senator 
from Massachusetts, Judge Hoar, has not hesitated to maintain 
on the floor of the United States Senate that "Our independ- 
ence in the War of the Revolution had been won at sea. 
England could have continued for a hundred years if necessary 
the land-war of the Revolution, because she was able to pay 
the cost. It was not a French alliance, but the rate of mari- 
time insurance which compelled the unwilling monarch to 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 25 

come to peace. It was New England sailors and other sailors 
of the maritime states who won the battle. The rate of 
insurance on English commercial ships then was 28 per cent, 
in the Mediterranean. It was the ship owners of Bristol who 
won the battle by privateers, and not the navy." 

Playing so prominent a part in the War of 181 2 himself, it 
is not surprising that Capt. De Wolf conceived not only a great 
admiration but a warm affection for the " Hero of Lake Erie." 
He entertained him with lavish hospitality at The Mount, 
had a portrait of him painted and hung by the side of those of 
his own family and that of Bishop Griswold in the great hall of 
his home; advanced from his private purse the money to build 
and equip the sloop of war Chippewa, which Commodore 
Perry had been commissioned by the United States Govern- 
ment to have built at Warren; and when Raymond, the hand- 
some younger brother of the Commodore, became a suitor for 
the hand of Marianne, the beautiful daughter of Captain De 
Wolf, consent to their marriage was readily given. 

A letter of Raymond to his mother — that sprightly little 
Scotch-Irish mother of heroes, Sarah Wallace Alexander — the 
direct descendant of an uncle of the famous Scottish chieftain. 
Sir William Wallace — is worthy of a place as a sketch of life in 
Bristol and of De Wolf hospitality of that day. The letter is 
dated "Off Bristol Harbor 28th Nov." — no year being given. 
After speaking of a visit to Providence with his brother Alex- 
ander — James Alexander, whose figure is familiar to those who 
have seen the painting of the Battle of Lake Erie, in the 
Capitol at Washington — he attributes the attention he received 
to the gallantry of this younger brother, " everyone anxious to 
be introduced to the young hero of Erie." He then continues: 
" My father was on board this evening on his way to Newport, 
where he says it will be necessary to visit often. I cannot ex- 
press how much my satisfaction is to see him so much pleased 
with his appointment " (Collector of Newport). " He is in excel- 
lent spirits; every one in Bristol seems anxious to serve him. 
The De Wolf's are wrapped up in his interests. The female 
part of the family talk much of the pleasure of your society as 
soon as you can join them. The house is a very good one and 
stands in the best part of the town." (a house on Church 
Street near High Street, into which Capt. C. R. Perry and his 
family moved about this time). "Mary Ann De Wolf is a

charming girl and I have reason to believe very much my 
friend." (The italics his own). "We were to a pleasant ball 
two evenings since in honor of Oliver. The house was bril- 
liantly illuminated and over the entrance was the appropriate 
motto 'Don't give up the ship.' I was received with more 
politeness than all my vanity could flatter me I deserved, but I 

was next brother to the greatest man in our country 

I will write the girls if we do not get out [of the harbor] but 
this letter is for them too. 

Your affect, son 

Raymond," 

We have quoted this letter so literally as it not only fore- 
shadows the marriage that united the Perrys and De Wolfs 
but betrays the charming pride of Lieut. Perry in his two 
brave brothers, the heroes of Lake Erie. "The girls" to whom 
he refers were of course his sisters: one of whom was after- 
wards Mrs. Commodore Rodgers of New London, the mother 
of Admiral C. R. P. Rodgers and other distinguished officers of 
the United States Navy; the other, Mrs. Jane Butler, the 
mother of General M, C. Butler, United States Senator, brave 
handsome O. N. Butler, and other brave soldiers of the Con- 
federacy. 

For almost thirty years Capt. De Wolf represented Bristol 
in the State Legislature: for two years he presided over the 
Lower House, then was elected to the United States Senate. 
Mr. De Wolf was an ardent protectionist and while in the 
Senate took, with Henry Clay and others, a prominent part in 
supporting the Tariff Bill of April, [824, as appears from the 
speech of Senator Hayne in that famous debate. Although his 
business experience made him at once a recognized authority 
in commercial matters, the pressure of business at home and 
his dislike of Washington life caused him to resign before his 
term expired and he returned to his beloved "Mount," to his 
counting house on the wharf and to the increase of his fortune, 
although he remained in the Rhode Island Legislature until 
his death. That his wealth was largely made from trading in 
slaves cannot be denied, although he had built the Arkwright 
Mills, was enthusiastic in agriculture, and owned several plan- 
tations in Cuba. It must be remembered that the slave trade 
had only begun at that time to be condemned, and few took 
exception to it. Much of the wealth of Bristol was due to this

traffic, and many of the people owed their employment to it. 
When laws were first enacted against it, they were regarded 
as acts of oppression, much as the repression of smuggling 
was viewed by the dwellers on the Cornish coast or the enforce- 
ment of the excise laws by the illicit distillers of the Tennessee 
Mountains. That this was the case is evident from an old 
yellowed document which now lies before the writer, casting 
such a weird, yet humorous side-light on the history of the 
day that it seems justifiable to give some of the details of the 
affair. 

In July of the year 1799, the schooner Lucy lay in Bristol 
Harbor and the brig Eliza at one of the wharves of Warren, 
then no mean rival of her sister town as a seaport. The 
United States Government had seized these vessels, and con- 
demned them for " a breach in the law prohibiting traffic in 
slaves." Mr. Ellery, Collector of the District of Newport, had 
written Mr. Samuel Bosworth, surveyor of the port of Bristol, 
to learn the value of the vessels and attend the sale in order 
to bid for the government. This, Mr. Bosworth " fearing " as 
he declares in a letter some years later "for his life," had no 
great desire to do. He wrote Mr. Ellery, giving him all needed 
information, but suggesting that " some more competent per- 
son be employed." The collector was inexorable, though later 
he did consent that Mr. Phillips, surveyor at Warren, should 
attend to the Eliza, and granted Mr. Bosworth's further 
request that if he must perform so unpopular a duty he might 
at least make known the authority under which he acted. 

The Bosworths were not a race to flinch from duty. Seek- 
ing counsel of his nephew Judge Bourn, (his sister Ruth's 
son), he prepared in concert with Mr. Phillips for his ungrate- 
ful task. 

A few days later Mr. Bosworth learned through Judge 
Bourn that his purpose had been betrayed by some unknown 
persons and was "mentioned in public company." He was 
hastily summoned to the office of Mr. John Brown in Provi- 
dence. Mr. Brown was one of the princely merchants of that 
city, in whose service Capt. James De Wolf had first com- 
manded a ship. Brown himself had but recently been acquit- 
ted of a violation of the same law, not for lack of fullest evi- 
dence to convict, Mr. Bosworth asserts, but on account of 
the widespread prejudice against the law. 



28 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Mr. Brown with James De Wolf and the latter's brother 
Charles, owner of the Lucy " opportuned and severally urged 
Mr. Bosworth to decline the appointment to attend to the sale, 
alleging that it was not in the line of his duty and that he 
would be considered a volunteer in a business which he knew 
to be very obnoxious to his fellow citizens." But the old 
Puritan conviction of duty in the i8th century had not become 
invertibrate in the presence of the money power. Though 
the De Wolf brothers returned to the attack the next morn- 
ing in Bristol, the surveyor continued to declare that he must 
and should execute his orders. On the morning appointed for 
the sale, July 25, we find him setting out from home, a little 
before ten o'clock, the hour fixed for the auction. He is walk- 
ing along Thames Street, which follows the shore of Bristol 
Harbor, and is only one hundred rods from the Charles De 
Wharf, less than a rod from the water's edge — suddenly he is 
seized by eight men, fantastically dressed, their faces painted 
with lamp-black, and quickly bundled into a small sail boat, 
his captors maintaining absolute silence. He "struggled, 
resisted, exclaimed for help," but all in vain. "There were 
several men in sight." He calls a " Mr. Warren, master of a 
carpenter shop hard by." A captain Aaron Usher started to 
assist him, but "too late." Capt. Charles Collins, who like 
Capt. James De Wolf, had married a daughter of Governor 
Bradford, had given the signal to the supposed Indians 
by waving his hat. Many were gathering at the wharf as 
well as on the deck of the Lucy, who later assure Mr. Bos- 
worth " they heard a voice of a person in distress " but saw 
neither him nor the boat. A strange blindness at ten o'clock 
in the morning on Thames Street at a public auction. Was 
the whole community quietly enjoying the scene and in sym- 
pathy with the genial slavers who had made their town pros- 
perous, attractive and popular? Evidently the business of 
enforcing the law zvas "very obnoxious to Mr. Bosworth's 
fellow-citizens," as laws that stand in the way of ease and 
wealth, no matter how ill-gotten and at what cost to others, 
often are in other times and later generations. Now the 
boat with its prisoner glides through the Bristol Ferry into the 
beautiful waters that lie between Fall River and Mount Hope. 
On the shore of the latter they land their captive. No word 
has been spoken during the whole "nefarious affair," except 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 29 

some "unintelligible jargon" "which concealed the indentity 
of the captors" and probably amused them as much as it tanta- 
lized Mr. Bosworth. Evidently no personal injury was intended 
to the government agent, but in landing him more than two 
miles distant from the scene of the place where he was seized, 
it was purposed to give the De Wolfs or their friends time 
to "bid in" the ship. In this they were disappointed. The 
United States Marshal on account of Mr. Bosworth's absence, 
had adjourned the sale to the following Monday. What the 
final result was regarding the vessel, Mr. Bosworth does not 
say. " Everyone was very indignant, full of sympathy for Mr. 
Bosworth, including " Mr. Brown of Providence." 

"There is such general indignation that the District At- 
torney will soon obtain evidence to convict perpetrators of the 
the deed." Alas! Vain hope ! In 1804, he is writing the new 
Secretary of the Treasury in Jefiferson's administration, not only 
of the failure to obtain redress, but bitterly complaining (and 
certainly it would seem with good reason), that he has been 
unceremoniously turned out of office to be succeeded by this 
same Capt. Collins, quondam captain of the Lucy, but now Col- 
lector of the Port, though still, as Mr. Bosworth avers, part 
owner of a slave ship Armstadt which he had the previous 
summer himself sailed in the interest of "his near relatives, the 
Messrs. De Wolf," from Congo to Georgia with its human 
cargo. He was also owner of another slaver nominally the 
property of Capt. Manchester, and on the same day that he re- 
ceived his commission as Collector, had been assured by a 
letter from Havana of a brother's safe arrival "in the brigan- 
tine Minerva from Africa with a cargo of some 150 slaves," of 
which he was also believed to own a quarter interest. Is it 
strange that the righteous soul of the brave defender of the 
law, who declares his only offense to be that he has refused 
his political support to the De Wolfs, waxes wrathful ? 

Prof. W. H. Munro says in his history of Bristol: "The 
higher moral tone which now prevails throughout the world 
has induced their descendants (/. e. of those who engaged in 
the slave trade) to suppress all the evidences which proved 
the participation of their ancestors in it." He adds with great 
truth: "This sensitiveness is natural but unnecessary. Let us 
not hold our ancestors responsible for deeds which in their 
day were not regarded as sinful." Their best defence is the

free publication of such documents as the above, showing on 
the one hand how generally public sentiment was with them, 
how honorable were the names associated with this now justly 
discredited pursuit, yet no less how worthy of honor were the 
pioneers of freedom who risked not only popularity and loss 
of office, but even their lives for conviction and duty. " No 
scruples," as writes Prof. Munro, "respecting the nature of 
their business appear to have troubled the importers of slaves," 
one captain piously writing: "we have now been twenty days 
upon the coast, and by the blessing of God shall soon have a 
good cargo !" 

Many of the old Bristol families related to the De Wolfs by 
marriage, whose names will appear in the tabulated pages of 
this work, as Diman, Liscolm, Collins, Manchester, sailed their 
ships and had a liberal share in their profits. We, their 
descendants, need not fear to honor their hardy virtues though 
we condemn the traffic in which they were engaged ; for since 
the final struggle for freedom, we have learned to hold it no 
inconsistency with our veneration for Sumner, Seward and 
Lincoln, that we have welcomed back into the Senate such 
brave men as Wade Hampton, M. C. Butler, Morgan, or Joe 
Wheeler, in spite of their contention for what we believed a 
mistaken as well as a "lost cause." 

Even in those earlier days differences of opinion as to slav- 
ery did not break personal friendships. We have already had 
occasion to contrast Judge Bourn and Captain James De Wolf. 
They differed upon the question of slavery as indeed upon 
most political questions. Yet the older man, older by ten 
years, ever had a regard, indeed a fondness for Capt. De Wolf. 
In the most serious charge ever made against Capt. De Wolf 
in connection with this traffic, Judge Bourn shielded him. 
Bourn was known throughout New England as the "Just 
Judge." We may believe, therefore, that the Judge, as did 
many others, held him innocent. 

When Judge Bourn died in 1808, at the age of fifty-three, 
in the fulness of his power, Capt. De Wolf was a young man 
with his highest honors before him. He was not U. S. Senator 
till 1 821; Judge Bourn had sat in the First Congress in 1789. 
Some further comparison of the two men may illustrate the 
difference between a leading citizen in two different periods of 
Bristol's social life. 



32 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

fair widow Jones." But if Mrs. De Wolf was plainer of feature, 
she was devotedly loved by her husband who took with his 
usual good nature this implied sign of her devotion to him. 
The writer recalls an amusing example of this difference of 
natural temperament: As the writer's aunt, who inherited 
more of her grandmother's disposition than her grandfather's, 
sat fuming one day after her grandmother and herself had 
been exchanging electric sparks with great rapidity until the 
former, no longer able to contain herself, went out, slamming 
the door. "Grandfather De Wolf," who had gazed at the fire 
place during the conflict, too wise to interfere, quietly turned 
to his grandchild with his sweet smile and said: "Nancy child, 
Nancy child, a shut mouth catches no flies." 

The old Mount House still stands far back from the road, 
picturesque among its gnarled and twisted trees, and the 
writer can remember the little dwellings nearby, where were 
quartered the last survivors of the old slaves of the estate, 
Polydore and Agiway. 

Poor old Polydore and "Agie"! How we children used to 
tease them, shouting in front of their little hut : 

" Polydore and Agiway 
Sitting in the cellar way! 
Agiway and Polydore 
Sitting on the cellar door! " 

But when at the end of her century of life, Agie, too infirm 
and dropsical to rise from her chair, held out her old arms and 
bid her "chile cum' gib ole Agie a las' kiss," although the 
"chile" was a man in Holy Orders, he reverently, if not rap- 
turously, planted on her protruding lips the requested boon. 

And Polydore, oh, with what an aroma of delicious "chow- 
der" is his memory fragrant ! Long after the old man's death 
others mixed the mighty broth at the " Family Clam-bake," 
some of them deservedly famous, but even when the mixture 
was at its best, the white haired members of the family would 
occasionally comment, as from their lips escaped something 
half way between a smack and a sigh, "yes, but if you'd tasted 
Polydore's!" 

Are any of the younger descendants of the family so unfor- 
tunate as not to have happy reminiscences recalled by that 
endearing term, "family clam-bake?" Is their knowledge of 
a feast of clams limited to the modern yet not altogether unac- 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 33 

ceptable form of it? What a degenerate evolution they wit- 
ness. The bivalve is now served in long hot wooden sheds, 
and on tables crowded with many a stranger to customs of 
"the shore" whose habits are not appetizing, while the grow- 
ing scarcity of that immortal yet vanishing shell fish causes 
the few half-filled pans of clams to be eked out with strange 
courses! 

^'■O tevtpora, O mores!" Vastly different was the family 
clam-bake of the De Wolfs on the shore of Mount Hope, or on 
"Jones' Rocks." The appropriately dressed company of hand- 
some men and beautiful women picturesquely grouped upon 
the grey rocks and beneath the dark and blue-green cedar 
trees; the curving shores of the harbor, the sandy beach, pit- 
ted and hollowed here and there, where the clams had been 
dug, — all added to the beauty of the scene. 

At early dawn "the man with the hoe" had struck the 
silent sand until the tiny tell-tale stream of water spurted 
forth, then quickly digging to secure the toothsome prize, had 
drawn forth clams ; yes, genuine clams with their oblong 
brittle shells, with the black projection, called by the uniniti- 
ate the "head," but which really is the foot — not the only 
creature which, as in Mother Goose lore, has "its head where 
its tail ought to be." Real New England clams they were ; 
not the tough, leathery creature called by the natives "Qua- 
haug," but by New Yorkers " Little Necks." Then from a more 
distant corner of the field comes borne on the steam-laden 
air the delicate perfume which might have been the clouds of 
of incense at Bacchanlion feast — odors from the great out- 
door oven "the Bake." There at early morn the great pit was 
dug, the circle of rocks placed in Druid-like order, the wood 
piled high as for a funeral pyre; then, when the rocks glowed 
with their store of heat and the smouldering embers were 
raked off, the "rock weed," that pungent odorous kelp, was 
piled on and between its folds, great baskets of clams poured, 
the fine tautog, each served in its own shroud: the ears of corn, 
the sweet potatoes and the loaves of bread, all cunningly dis- 
embowled that they might be stuffed with savory "fillings," 
the great black lobsters snapping their savage jaws in death- 
agony and turning red with wrath as they succumb in the 
thrice-heated furnace, then over the hissing bivalves and the 
squirming crustaceans, again the great black pall of rock-weed

is cast, and to keep the steam and preserve the luscious juices, 
a great sail is spread over all and pegged securely to the 
ground. No trifle is the preparation for this king of feats. 
Meantime in the great iron pot suspended over a wood fire has 
been flung by Polydore and his assistants ingredients as varied 
though far more appetizing than those employed by the 
witches in "Macbeth" to make the gruel thick and slab." 
While round and round the dusky figures go, piling on wood, 
stirring the savory mixture and making "fire burn and 
cauldron bubble," and when the guests who have been 
stimulating their appetites in the bracing sea breezes with 
"Prisoners Base" or "Drop the Handerchief" are all seated 
like bright flowers springing from the grey rocks, the plates 
of chowder, the tin pans heaped high with clams, and all the 
luscious morsels that have "been raked from the opened bake," 
are passed to the hungry company, while the merry laughter 
and happy play of wit is only interrupted by the "pop" 
"pop" of bottles taken from the ice and the pleasing gurgle 
that follows. We fear to displease " teetotalers " by naming the 
beverage. It was not ginger ale. One generous hamper after 
another is opened and guava jellies and other Spanish dainties 
from the family plantations in Cuba are added to the feast. 

Some visitors from the unfortunate "interior," joining in 
the feast with gloved hands, might smile derisively at the rude 
methods of the natives. But sure disaster would speedily bring 
her to an humble imitation. It is not so easily an acquired art 
as it may be thought by the uninitiated to deftly cleave the 
double hinged doors of the delicious tid-bit, seize the indweller 
by its ebony handle, dip it into a dish of melted butter hard 
by, and give the globular stomach, suspended on its shoulder 
straps, the exact swing to safely land it between the open and 
expectant lips. Talk of Neopolitan macaroni eaters, of the 
manipulation of Chinese chop-sticks, or even the landing on the 
river's bank of the silvery gamey trout, — these are child's play to 
the proper handling and safe delivery into the mouth of a full- 
sized Rhode Island clam! 

O yes, Polydore and Agiway were famous cooks. For at 
this point we digressed, and if the fragrant memories of clam 
bakes led us too much astray, it will be forgiven by those who 
recall their delights and may not be amiss to those unfortunate 
descendants born far from the salt breezes and hiding places 
of the clam on the native shore of their ancestors. 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 35 

One form of the New England Clam Bake still survives in 
a few secluded spots called "The Church Bake," a means of 
adding to church revenues far more enjoyable, hence pos- 
sibly more justifiable than the mercenary " Fair." *' The St. 
Michael's Clam Bake," started at a later period than the "reign" 
of the older De Wolf's, is not inappropriately mentioned since 
it was connected with the old church in which so many 
of the family had worshipped, and because so many grand- 
children of the older De Wolfs were among the masters of the 
ceremonies at this annual feast which was attended by hun- 
dreds of people from all Rhode Island, who crowded the sum- 
mit of "Fox Hill," part of the Mount estate. 

Many beautiful poems of classic purity and dignity could be 
gathered from the pen of Bishop M. A. De Wolf Howe, but the 
following verses written by him for the "Mail Box" at St. 
Michael's Bake give an example of the versatility of one of the 
wittiest as well as one of the wisest of the family. 

Our St. Michael's bake, like a wild Irish wake, 

Brings all the old neighbors together. 
Here the sacred and funny — devotion and money 

Are linked by a curious tether. 

Our matronly church is much in the lurch 

For a place to encradle her lambs; 
So we play the old trick — a jolly pic-nic — 

And a love feast of chowder and clams. 

Our brothers in Warren, and the town surnamed Barren, 

We ask to come over and cheer us; 
And e'en Providence, though ten miles from thence 

We invoke as if it were near us. 

Here's bright Mrs. Perry, and Chevalier Sherry — 

In energy who can come nigh them? 
Yet good Mr. Bogert, though not quite so alert 

In giving perhaps may go by them. 

Here comes Mr. Waldron bringing fish from the cauldron 

And clams reeking hot from the sea-weed; 
While Carpenter Lawless, axe, gimlet and saw-less. 

Offers chowder as fast as we need. 

Then kind Miss Ruth Soley to quell melancholy 

Dispenses hot coffee and buns; 
While Lavinie so rosy, and Adie and Posey 

Pour the cream, make change and the Puns. 



36 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Cold meats and ragouts, if such dainties you choose 

Abound at the board of the Dabney; 
Where a pig most uncommon, devouring a lemon 

Seems defying the butcher — "Come stab me." 

In this lair of the fox you may find a mail-box 

With post-routes in every direction; 
Miss Willard you know, helps Postmaster Howe, 

Man of Letters, Fine Art and Dissection. 

But hold! 'tis enough — though Miss Herreshoff, 

The Faleses, De Wolfs and the Gardners, 
Briggs, Wright, West and Munros, as everyone knows 

Are entitled to rank as our partners. 

And good Parson Stow — his face all aglow 

With the light of two festals together 
Goes before — while his flock, — Hogg, Bullock and Ox 

Sheep and Lambs follow up their Bell-wether. 

God's Grace, let it fall in rich blessings on all 

Who help Mother to shelter her Lambs! 
Alive through Christ's death, may they rest in His faith 

And at length share the Crown and the Palms. 

Bristol, July 20, 1864. Unusquisque. 



It may illustrate what we have said of the activity of the 
De Wolfs in all the above industries (!) of the town that not 
less than ten of the names that the Bishop has so wittily in- 
troduced in his lines appear in the genealogical tables of this 
volume; this in addition to the author who might have signed 
the verses by his better known Latin name in college, Marcus 
Antonius de Lupus Quam. 

This poem was written to be sold at the "Post Office" of 
one of the last of these Church Bakes, when money was being 
raised to build St. Michael's Chapel. The following verses are 
from a poem written by the author's mother in 1857, when 
another clam festival was held to get funds to pay off the debt 
for alterations on the "Old Church," which was burned the 
following year. 

The Church of God, the Bride of Christ, 

Defend her holy purity ; 
From age to age she firm hath stood. 

And shall to all futurity.

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 37 

Although her lustre has been dimmed, 
Her holy light been feebly poured ; 

Her sacred aisles polluted by 

Oppression, warfare, and the sword. 

Still she doth stand, her pure light given 

To every nation, every tongue ; 
On every shore her spires have risen. 

Within her courts God's praise is sung. 

Cast forth, a callow, unfledged thing. 

From her parent nest on high ; 
To-day she soars on eagle's wing 

Through every clime and sky. 

But these last named events were in the days when the 
history of the De Wolfs had passed the zenith of its glory, and 
our story must return to the olden days when the family 
gatherings were more resplendent. 

The writer well remembers his mother's description of her 
first impression of these "family gatherings" when she was 
welcomed to the home of her husband, James De Wolf Perry 
— who had, since his mother's second marriage, lived at the 
"Mount." From his home in New York City came the oldest 
son James and his beautiful wife, Julia Post, whose sister Ellen 
was the wife of the dashing younger brother, Francis De Wolf .- 
James was the most accomplished of the family, popular in the 
Court circles of Europe, as was later his beautiful daughter 
Julianna — Mrs. Robert Cutting, of New York. Prescott Hall, of 
Newport, and his stately wife, the oldest surviving daughter of 
the house, was there. The oldest daughter and perhaps the 
most beautiful of all, Mrs. Perry, had died before her son's 
marriage. The other daughters were present ; Nancy and 
her husband, Fritz Henry Homer, from Boston— she whose 
hand was so beautiful that a famous sculptor begged the 
favour of copying it as a m.odel. Kate De Wolf, too, then 
radiant in her brilliant but too fatal charms ; while the 
youngest daughter, Josephine must then have been just 
blooming into the glorious beauty which it was said at a later 
day so affected a sensitive young Cuban student, that on 
seeing her enter old St. Michael's Church, he fainted. Such 
was the family tradition though many a time has the writer 
heard this aunt laughingly protest against it as an unfounded 
myth — this great-aunt, who as Mrs. Charles Lovett, of Boston, 



38 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

the last of Mark Anthony De Wolf's grandchildren, has died 
in extreme but lovely old age since these pages have been in 
preparation. 

The sons had contributed to the exceptional beauty of the 
assembly not only by their own presence, but that of wives 
noted for their personal charms. The two beautiful Miss Posts 
who had entered the family have been already mentioned. The 
proud Mark Anthony had married Sophia Chappotin of a 
French refugee family from Martinique ; and the writer can 
remember how on the streets of Baltimore, where in old age 
she lived with her granddaughter, Mrs. Theobold, men would 
stop and admire her stately carriage and her graceful French 
manners, which she retained as an octogenarian. Mark 
Anthony himself was of most lordly mein. He could at times 
be as terrible and imperious as at others winning and gracious, 
as when he used to summon us children from the nursery at 
dessert, and placing his dainty little granddaughter Caroline 
in the centre of the dining table, feed her with dainties. 

There, too, was William Henry, perhaps the most renowned 
for personal beauty of them all. How handsome the writer in 
his boyhood used to think him as he used to walk down the 
marble walk of his beautiful home, crying to him, "Good 
morning. Commodore ! " And his sweet-faced wife, Sarah 
Rogers, to whom the writer's father at the age of fourteen 
wrote this tribute to her beauty at the time of the birth of her 
daughter Rosalie (Mrs. John Hopper): "Dear Aunt: I have 
heard a great deal of babe. I have forgotten its (!) name, but 
if it is as handsome as you it must be handsome." Their 
grandson, DeWolf Hopper, comes well by his fine physique 
and grace upon the stage. 

Lastly, there was the youngest son, bearing the name of his 
Puritan ancestor, William Bradford, and his beautiful young 
bride, Mary Soley, — dear "Aunt Mary," with such calm, placid 
beauty, even in her last years. As it was this gathering to wel- 
come his mother which furnished the writer his earliest know- 
ledge of the social life of the " Mount; " so it was the marriage 
of the oldest daughter of William Bradford, Harriett to Gene- 
ral Loyd Aspinwall of New York, that in his boyhood caused 
the glory of the old "Mount" to leap up with what might be 
termed an almost expiring flash of brilliancy. It was the 
coming in of the new, — the passing of the old. The family

plate piled with new luxuries, the ancient mahogany groaning 
with the showy though less satisfying modern morsels, fitly 
accompanied by the supercilious tones of New York caterers 
as they banished to the sideboard the rich " whips " in long 
cut glasses, the delicate custards in antique cups, the trembling 
jellies of varied hues prepared by that fine old lady, the bride's 
"Aunt Ruth Soley." 

And the glories of the De Wolfs of Bristol were waning 
with the old past. They were in their zenith in the times of 
Charles, James and William De Wolf and their brothers. Prof. 
Munroe says of Mr. James De Wolf : " When he died there 
was no one to take his place, and the news of his death seemed 
for a while to crush the life out of the town. With its every 
industry he had been more or less intimately connected ; 
hardly a project had been set on foot where his aid had not 
been invoked ; never a subscription for a worthy object had 
been started which his name had not generously led." 

His wife never left her room after his death, and died the 
following week. In "A Discourse delivered in Bristol, R. I., 
Feb. II, 1838, occasioned by the death of the Hon. James 
De Wolf and Mrs. Ann B.- De Wolf, his wife," by Bishop Alex- 
ander V. Griswold, one of the most frequent and honored 
guests at the " Mount," he says : 

" But a few weeks have passed away since it pleased our 
Heavenly Father to remove from this life in quick succession 
both the heads — the father and the mother of a numerous 
family who have long walked before you in the first ranks of 
society, and have borne an important and conspicuous part in 
the business and affairs of this town, and of the State, and 
indeed of the United States. * * The deceased had long 
been among the number of my best friends and kindest bene- 
factors. Considering the rank which the head of the family 
had long sustained among you, his influence in society, the 
deep and active interest he has taken in whatever concerned 
the public good, of which he has been the instrument, together 
with the extensive family connexions who yet survive to 
mourn his loss— when all these and like considerations are 
brought into view, I may well address this congregation gen- 
erally in the language of sympathy, as having lost a father,— 
a public benefactor. He was possessed of a strong mind and 
ardent feelings; his life was unusually active in profitable 



40 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

business, and both he and his companion had noble, bright 
and amiable virtues, on which a eulogist would delight to 
dwell. * * He may be said to have been a father to the 
poor, whom he employed in various branches of business. His 
industry was blessed in the accumulation of an ample fortune, 
which has benefited not his family only, but many others, who 
without his aid might have been destitute. A rich man who 
makes good use of his wealth is a great blessing to society, 
and his death is a public loss." 

In loneliness to-day many of these old De Wolf homes 
seem mourning over the momory of bygone days. They stand 
not without a certain solitary grandeur among the new summer 
residences rapidly lining the shores of the bay, in the life of 
which they have little part. Like those few fine "old-school" 
gentlemen who remain of a former generation, gazing benig- 
nantly, but with rather perplexed countenances, upon forms 
that lack somewhat of the stateliness and repose of former 
days. They seem to have some sense of superiority, with 
their great beams of blackened oak and stately columns, over 
the attenuated frames and slenderly laced figures of modern 
household architecture. Lost through many reverses, in some 
cases squandered or invested without the sagacity of the 
fathers — are many of the princely fortunes — princely at least 
for their time. Some of the descendants rank among the 
wealthy men of the day, and are conspicuous in public life. 
A greater number are earning modest incomes by honest toil; 
some, the truthful historian must record, either by undeserved 
misfortunes or by their own folly and incompetence, have 
experienced more bitter struggles. 

When Capt. James De Wolf gave to the town of Bristol its 
"poor house," with its extensive surrounding farm, one of his 
fellow citizens protested: "Why Capt. De Wolf, there'll never be 
need of so large a poor farm in this small place! " The old gen- 
tleman, who had already begun to be troubled at the tendency 
to increasing extravagance on the part of his sons, replied 
with one of his quizzical smiles, " O, my grandchildren will be 
coming to live on that farm yet, and they are accustomed to 
plenty of room." We know of none who have sought shelter 
within its walls, but we know of some mighty efforts lest they 
should !

roy Colt stands to-day pre-eminently the finest residence in 
the central portion of the town. Col. Colt and his brother 
Judge Le Baron Colt, being grandsons of Gen. George 
De Wolf, the son of Charles, who was the eldest son of Mark 
Anthony, represent the oldest branch of the Rhode Island 
De Wolfs, as do their cousin and brother-in-law, Mr. Frank 
De Wolf and his children, Mr. Bradford Colt de Wolf and the 
Baroness de Kestelek. This beautiful house, with its long 
approach by pavement of marble, with its fine portico of lofty 
Corinthian columns, its old-fashioned balustrade of intricate 
pattern around the roof, was built in 181 1 at a cost of $65,000 
by Gen. George De Wolf. The architect was Russell Warren, 
who designed many of the fine Bristol houses of that day. To 
this home of their girlhood two of Gen. De Wolf's daughters 
returned in 1866, after an absence from Bristol of thirty years. 
Mrs. Goode, an invalid, was little seen except by a few of the 
old friends of her youth, for whom she retained a warm affec- 
tion. But Mrs. Theodore De Wolf Colt, with her family of 
talented attractive sons, soon made the old house again famous 
for its old-timed hospitality. Of fine literary tastes, the author 
of a volume of published poems, fond of gathering about her 
the picturesque and the beautiful, she ever cordially welcomed 
alike highest officers of State and the humblest acquaintances. 
Two of her sons died. Her only daughter became the wife of 
Mr. Francis Eugene De Wolf, the son of her oldest brother. 

Mr. Frank E. De Wolf's beautiful home in Bristol, " Mirimar," 
although recently built is of the stateliest colonial style, quite 
worthy to enter into the family of De Wolf mansions. Of her 
two surviving sons, Le Baron rose to be United States District 
Judge, and after his marriage established his own home in 
Bristol, and later a winter home in Providence. The young- 
est, Samuel Pomeroy, remained in his mother's home, the beau- 
tiful home of his ancestors, where he still resides. Deeply 
attached to each other, mother and son united to make the 
fine old place noted for its open hospitality. Here was enter- 
tained in 1883, President Arthur; as earlier, another member 
of the family, William Henry De Wolf entertained President 
Jackson, whose portrait hangs in the spacious hall as a memo- 
rial of his visit; and as in 18 17 Gen. George De Wolf, Mrs. 
Colt's father, celebrated the "Era of Good-feeling" by enter- 
taining President Monroe. 



42 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

A printed account of these Presidential visits says : "A 
solid silver pitcher and basin brought from England by Gen. 
De Wolf were used by the three distinguished guests, and waits 
the appearance of the next man worthy to follow." 

Col. Colt rapidly rose to a distinguished position as a mem- 
ber of the Rhode Island Bar, as a member of the State Legis- 
lature, and in the great financial enterprises of the State, being 
now President of the Rubber Trust Co. and of the Rhode 
Island Industrial Trust Co. During all these years mother 
and son were inseparable, and no one gave the writer more 
extensive and sympathetic aid than Mrs. Colt in the prepara- 
tion of this work. It was only after this volume was nearly 
ready for publication that at the advanced age of eighty-one, 
she was stricken with her last illness. 

To her and to her son. Col. S. Pomeroy Colt, are largely due 
the possibility of preparing and publishing this work. Among 
the most recent and brilliant of the " festas " at " Linden Place," 
was the marriage of Mrs. Colt's granddaughter to Baron Louis 
de Kestelek of Hungary. Mrs. Colt also lived to witness, at 
her son Judge Colt's residence in Providence, the brilliant 
marriage of her granddaughter and namesake, Theodora, to 
Edwin Armington Barrows. 

The home of Gen. George De Wolf's father, Charles, the 
eldest of the sons of Mark Anthony, was a house that stood 
upon Thames street, at the foot of Constitution street. This 
too, was a fine mansion in its day. Its terraced garden led 
down to the water which lapped a shore which had not then 
been curtailed of much of its extent and more of its beauty by 
devastating gales. Its summer house still ornaments one of 
the gardens of Bristol. But fire has dealt mercifully with the 
old place itself. When it was moved on to another part of the 
lot to make room for "Gardiner's Sawmill," it was converted 
into tenements for the mill hands. Its great rooms were still 
hung with imported paper of birds with "painted plumages 
gay," making a mute protest against altered circumstances 
until the pitying flames devoured the desecrated walls. 

Here it was that Mr. Charles De Wolf entertained in the 
lavish style of the family, as the oldest son of the house, and 
years in advance of the first great feasts at " The Mount," for 
he was nearly twenty years older than his brother James. It 
was here that he learned that one of his ships could not pass

beyond the Ferry, for it was a severe winter when even that 
strong current had yielded to the death grip of the cold, and 
all the harbor was solid ice. But if his uncle Sim Potter 
"would plow the sea into porridge but he'd make money," — the 
same dauntless spirit in his nephew made even such a field of 
ice no insuperable barrier between him and his gold. Down 
he tramped to his ice-bound ship, and back over the frozen 
harbor with bags of gold in his hands which he landed safely 
in the bank vaults in Bristol. It was of the gold brought in 
one of his ships from Guinea that a beautiful goblet was ham- 
mered out by hand, which later was given by his son George 
to Bishop Griswold, and is now in the possession of Mrs. Sydney 
De Wolf, widow of the Bishop's grandson. 

After Mr. Charles De Wolf's death, the place was purchased 
by his brother James, and as we have already recorded became 
the home of his grandson, James De Wolf Perry, upon his 
marriage, and the birthplace of the writer and his two older 
brothers. When the writer's mother became heir to " Silver 
Creek," the family moved "over the bridge." The latter place 
was therefore the birth-place of all the writer's brothers 
younger than himself, of his beautiful little sister Julia, and 
also some of the grandchildren. Mrs. Julia Jones and Mrs. 
George De Wolf had always maintained the closest friendship, 
the latter having named a little daughter who died in child- 
hood Julia Bourn for her friend. On the reverses of fortune 
which caused Gen. George De Wolf to take his family to his 
estates in Cuba, "Linden Place" also passed into the hands of 
James De Wolf, and was given by him to his son William 
Henry as the latter's home. For a space of years the house 
again became renowned for beauty and accomplishment as 
well as lavish hospitality. Of the beauty of Mr. De Wolf him- 
self and of his wife we have already spoken, several of his 
children inherited it to a marked degree. One of the dearest 
and sweetest of the cousins of the writer, "sweet Kate Budd" 
as those who knew her loved to call her," falling asleep" while 
aiding in the preparation of these chapters. Of them all only 
three sisters remain, all widowed, two living in New York 
City, and the youngest of the family residing in Paris with her 
daughter Lady Lee. 

It does not seem necessary to follow the later history, when 
though still owned by the family, it was the famous hotel, the 



44 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

De Wolf House, of Bristol It is enough to rejoice that it is 
again a De Wolf home. 

Another old De Wolf home has disappeared, the earlier 
home of William De Wolf, upon the " Neck "— " The old Farm," 
as it was known in the family, originally bought from the 
Indians. It was purchased by William De Wolf, who built an 
ell to the old farmhouse and otherwise enlarged and beautified 
it. His son Henry began the erection of the beautiful man- 
sion upon Poppasquash * Point, but being unable from business 
embarrassment to complete it, the father exchanged houses 
with his son, and finished the new residence in the very beau- 
tiful proportions it now bears. This latter house after being 
for many years the home of William De Wolf's two daughters, 
Mrs. Roberts Rogers and Miss Charlotte De Wolf, both dying 
at a great age and most truly " in the odor of sanctity," it is now 
the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Russell Middleton, for- 
merly of Charleston, S. C. Mr. William De Wolf, as we have 
already seen, became, like his brothers, one of the princely 
merchants of Bristol, and owner of plantations in the West 
Indies. He too entertained many distinguished people of the 
day, among them, as we shall see later. Judge Benjamin De 
Wolf of Nova Scotia, and several of the Connecticut De Wolfs. 

Next to the William De Wolf house, and so that the conti- 
guous lawns slope gracefully to the sea, and form one of the 
finest spots the eye can rest upon from the opposite shore of 
the town, is the beautiful home built by Mark Anthony 
De Wolf. It is an exact model in wood of the Temple of 
Minerva. "The Venus room," with its fine Italian mantel, 
supported by exquisite marble statues of the goddess from 
which the room is called, the long drawing room finished in 
mahogany, and the great hall, running the entire length of 
the house, makes it a mansion of fine proportions, a fit com- 
panion of the noble old house by its side. This too, is occu- 
pied by the granddaughter of its builder, Mrs. Margaret 
De Wolf Mudge. 

The ''old Farmhouse" on the "Neck" no longer stands, 

* Prof. Munro's spelling of this word is adopted as, according to such 
authorities on Indian names as Dr. Usher Parsons, more likely to conform to 
the original Pokanoket word than Pappoose-squaw with its poetic but prob- 
ably fanciful derivation from the use of this peninsula as a refuge for the 
wives and children of the Indian braves when at war.

though opposite it resides another of William De Wolf's grand- 
daughters, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson.* 

Gone too is the noble elm at the gate, under whose shade 
Mr. Henry De Wolf used to sit, with his hair tied up in a 
queue, accompanied by his sweet old wife Nancy, and her 
saintly sister Miss Marsten, all still bearing the marks of the 
beauty for which they had been noted; while groups of children 
and grandchildren, who had inherited their full share of per- 
sonal charm, sported under the wide spreading boughs. Of 
this old tree Mr. Henry De Wolf's granddaughter Mrs. Pratt 
writes, " Do you remember the old elm? A wondrously sym- 
metrical tree. The night before the September gale, Grandma 
gave a reception for Mr. and Mrs. Erskine and as the guests 
were leaving, some one called attention to the beauty of the 
tree by lamplight. The family gathered under its spreading 
branches on that very warm September night and admired its 
wonderful beauty. The next day the greater part went over 
in that dreadful gale. It seemed as though the night before 
was a sort of farewell tribute to the old elm — the 23d of Octo- 
ber — dear Grandma died about six weeks later." It might 
seem that the Rhode Island De Wolfs had shared the fate of 
the old elm. The loss of many of the branches of the family 
tree, lopped off by winds of adversity and, it is feared one must 
add, often falling by inner decay, have sadly shorn it of its 
symmetry. Comparatively few of its branches bear the sur- 
name De Wolf, it having largely been continued in female 
lines. Yet now and again vigorous new growth appears, some- 
times conspiciously in the talent of an artist like Dana Gibson, 
a De Wolf by double descent, in the adventurous arctic explor- 
ation of his brother Langdon, in eloquence at the bar, in pulpit, 
in the pen of the ready writer, in the brilliant leadership in

society whether in America or as the brides of titled favorites 
at European Courts, while many another of the family, less 
conspicious are yet forcefully fighting life's battle. 

The home of the youngest brother of the family, Levi, a 
little north of the Poppasquash corner, upon the main road to 
Warren, still stands and was until quite recent years the home 
of his only surviving child Abby, generally spoken of as " Miss 
Abby Levi De Wolfe," to distinguish her from other Abbys of 
the family. Mr. Levi De Wolf did not amass a fortune as did 
several of his brothers. When early reverses of fortune fell 
to him, they united in sharing their profits with him. 

But his lack of wealth was not always from involuntary 
causes. He made a number of trips as captain for his brother 
James, going to Africa three times. After a profitable voyage 
his brother James offered to fit out a ship for him, as a slaver 
adding, "the profits of this trip shall be yours." The offer was 
refused, "his conscience would no longer allow him to deal in 
trading of slaves, and he then made this remark, ' I will never 
die a rich man but I will never come to want.' " So writes his 
great-granddaughter from her father's boyish memories of his 
grandfather, " a lovable old man." This grandson, Mr. Charles 
Wesley Allen, still possesses the scales used in slave-trading 
for weighing gold dust, and a pair of cuff buttons with L. De 
W. engraved upon them, made of gold dust. In the old home- 
stead on the " Neck " built from the plaji of the home of his 
brother John on the Ferry road, Levi De Wolf lived a quiet 
religious life. Writing from Paris a few days after the battle 
of Waterloo, when he saw the Duke of Wellington and the 
British troops, he says, "all nations and kindreds and tongues 
are assembled here — but they are not all clothed with white 
robes." 

Severer than any financial loss was the death of his son 
Levi, a most promising young man. It bowed his head and 
saddened his countenance, but only served to deepen his relig- 
ious life. His mother had on one occasion come to his home 
from that of her son James, telling the latter that in the con- 
fusion of his luxurious hospitality, she found no time for her 
prayers — and Levi told his brothers that he spent in prayer for 
them the time for which their busy pursuit of wealth seemed 
to make no room. The venerable Dr. Taf t of Pawtucket spoke 
of him " as a holy man." On the beautiful hill-side of a portion

of his estate known as the "Junipers," he was buried by his 
daughter Abby. An inscription records that at that very spot 
he was accustomed to spend hours in communion with God. 
In part her gift, the place has become the beautiful Juniper 
Hill Cemetery. 

The home of Mr. Levi De Wolf was built from the same 
plans as that from which Capt. John De Wolf, his older brother, 
had built in 1798, his home which still is occupied by his great- 
grandchildren and nestles picturesquely among its old trees. 
Here Capt. John De Wolf, like so many of his family, retired 
from life upon the sea to the life of a farmer, and became famous 
as the best farmer of Rhode Island. We shall read in a suc- 
ceeding chapter of his sheltering in his hospitable home cousins 
of another branch of the family, and of kindness the memory 
of which is still treasured in this present generation. He also 
found time to serve his town as its representative in the 
Legislature and held other positions of public trust. 

His son and onlychild Professor John De Wolf, was one of the 
most distinguished scholars of the State, and for twenty years 
one of the faculty of Brown University, in the chair of chem- 
istry, though he was equally well known as a scholar in math- 
ematics and languages. He was twice married. By his first 
wife, Elizabeth James, he had one son a well known physician, 
the late Dr. John De Wolf of Providence, whose children and 
grandchildren are prominent in both professional and business 
life. His second wife was Bishop Griswold's beautiful daughter 
Sylvia, and the descendants by this marriage, the families of 
Mr. Sydney De Wolf, of Mrs. Bullock, wife of Judge Russel 
Bullock, and of Mrs. Robert Andrews, are still among the most 
representative citizens of Bristol. 

Of the remaining three of the eight sons of Mark Anthony 
De Wolf, the writer can relate little as to their lives. Of Sam- 
uel Potter who died unmarried at the age of twenty-one, he 
has learned nothing but the brief record in the family bible, 
" Died at sea on the Privateer Oliver Cromwell." Mark Anth- 
ony the second son and his brother Simon his next younger 
brother, also perished at sea at any early age, thirty-two and 
twenty-six respectively. At least they sailed from Hispaniola 
homeward bound and were never heard from. They both left 
families. Neither of the sons of the former, Mark Anthony 
and Samuel, married. So the male line ended. His daughter 



48 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Elizabeth married Barnard Smith of Warren, her son, who 
continued the family name, Mark Anthony De Wolf Smith, left 
two sons, but Samuel died unmarried and George, who married 
Eliza Peck of Warren, died without children. His widow 
died quite recently in Warren. Mrs. Elizabeth De Wolf Smith 
had however, two daughters who married in the West, who 
very probably have descendants; if so they are the only direct 
descendants of Mark Anthony De Wolf and Abigail Potter, 
whom the writer has, if he is not mistaken, failed to trace. 

Simon De Wolf left but one child to his widow Hannah 
May, and he was destined to add fame to the name of De Wolf • 
A reference has been made to the participation in arctic ex- 
ploits by one of the youngest of the De Wolf family, Mr. Lang- 
don Gibson. The adventures of one three generations earlier 
in northern latitudes, then equally unknown, may well find a 
place in this story. Simon's son John made a journey across 
Siberia, then unprecedented, which gave him ever after the 
sobriquet " Capt. Nor West John De Wolf." 

The writer only remembers the fine old captain when age 
had whitened his hair. His daughter, the late Mrs. Downing 
of Dorchester, Mass., is another of the old members of the De 
Wolf family who gave cordial encouragement to the begining 
of this genealogy, but has not lived to see it completed. The 
reader can best learn the achievements of Capt. De Wolf by 
some brief extracts from his published work, A voyage to the 
North Pacific and a Journey through Siberia more than half a 
century ago, by Capt. John De Wolf, Cambridge. Welsh, 
Bigelow & Co., 1 86 1. In the preface he modestly says: "Al- 
though I am not one who regard everything beyond the smoke 
of their own chimney as marvelous, I think my expedition to 
the Northwest coast was made a little remarkable from the 
circumstances that I met at Norfolk Sound, his Excellency 
Baron von Resanoff, to whom I sold my vessel and then crossed 
the South Pacific in a little craft of twenty-five tons burden, 
and after an overland journej' of fifty-five hundred miles, re- 
turned home by the way of St. Petersburg. This was a voyage 
and travels more than half a century ago, and I was probably 
the first American who passed through Siberia. I know that 
others have claimed to be the first and have published descrip- 
tions of the country; but I had gone over the same route 
before any of these claimants were born."

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 49 

Capt. De Wolf, having constantly risen in rank in a seafaring 
life from the early age of thirteen to twenty-four, returned, 
after a series of long voyages east of Cape of Good Hope to 
Bristol for a short respite. His employers, Messrs. Charles, 
James and George De Wolf purchased the Juno, and sent him 
in command on a voyage to the northwest coast of America to 
collect furs for the China Market. He put to sea Aug. 13, 
1804. On Aug. 14, 1805, when the y««^ was waiting at Norfolk 
Sound for the Indians to return with furs from a hunting 
excursion, there arrived as passengers on a Russian brig, a 
nobleman. Baron Nicholas von Resanoff, a large proprietor of 
the Russian- American Co., Lieut. N. Schwortoff, Lieut. Davidoff, 
and Dr. George von Langsdorff. To this Russian party he 
sold the Juno and the remainder of its cargo for $68,000 and a 
small Russian vessel, well provisioned, in which he sent the 
crew of the Juno to Canton. Then he went into winter- 
quarters, sharing the same house with Dr. Langsdorff, a 
German naturalist and scientist .who had volunteered to 
accompany the Russian party for purposes of scientific research 
and discovery. During this winter, of which Capt. De Wolf 
gives an interesting and often amusing account, the two com- 
panions conceived for each other a warm friendship, and 
determined to pursue their journey together. On June 30, 
they set sail in a small Russian vessel to Irkutsk. An accoimt 
of the innoculation of a whole settlement at that place, suffer- 
ing from small-pox, by means of a needle and thread is interest- 
ing when compared with modern methods. 

By a journey of thirty-five thousand miles from this place, 
Capt. De Wolf reached St. Petersburgh Oct. 21, 1807. The 
return to his native land was made more rapidly via Liverpool. 
He arrived in Bristol April i, 1808. "Thus terminates," con- 
cludes Capt. De Wolf, " an absence of three years and six months 
from the time of my departure. The owners were in receipt of 
the proceeds of the voyage, which resulted in a clear profit of 
one hundred thousand dollars." 

Capt. De Wolf continued in the Russian trade in which he 
had made so distinguished and remunerative a beginning. In 
1809, he again met his friend Dr. Langsdorff. Their former 
comrades, Lieutenants Schwortoff and Davidhoff were at the 
time stationed on the opposite bank of the Neva. After one 
evening's pleasant reunion, they were drowned in the Neva by

the upsetting of their boat. Of their pathetic death, Capt. De 
Wolf adds: "Though fifty years have gone by since the death 
of these young men, I cannot forbear to recall their virtues 
and lament their untimely end." 

Capt. De Wolf continued, some years after his marriage, in 
the Russian-American trade. His family have a heavy silver 
tea service presented to him by the Russian-American Com- 
pany, as well as much Russian cut glass. On retiring from the 
sea, like so many sea captains, he occupied himself in farming 
on a small scale on a fine old place near Brighton, and the last 
twelve years of his life he made his home with his married 
daughter, Mrs. Downing, at Dorchester, Mass. " I never knew," 
writes his granddaughter Mrs. Green, "a more beautiful old age. 
Beloved by those of all ages, he had many friends among the 
young people and was young with them, and his grandchildren 
were devoted to him. They always called him * White Grandpa,' 
on account of his silvery white hair, to distinguish him from 
my father. They always knew in just what spot in his room 
to look for candy and fruits which he always had for them, and 
if there was anything they particularly wanted, they were 
always sure that 'White Grandpa' would give it to them. 
Like so many old people it was hard to adapt himself to modern 
improvements, and especially the new ideas in ship-building 
were not always to his liking. At a window of his room at 
our summer home, commanding a fine view of Boston Harbor, 
we would often find him holding his spy-glass at arms length, 
and if sometimes we would ask: 'What do you see. Grandpa?' 
he would invariably reply: '1 am looking at those blasted 
three-masted schooners.' We often wonder what he would have 
thought of the five and six masted ones so common in the 
harbor now. My grandmother was very fond of us, but we 
stood in much awe of her — she was so very dignified and 
strictly a lady of the old school. Grandpa was always a dear 
companion to us." 

The reader cannot fail to recognize in this story of this fine 
old captain of former days — family characteristics — the enter- 
prize, "indomitable will, somewhat impatient of contradiction, 
or of new-fangled ideas," combined with that intense passionate 
love for his family, his tenderness and sweetness toward the 
little ones. 

Of the seven daughters of Mark Anthony and Abigail Pot-

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 51 

ter De Wolf, only four lived long enough to have histories to 
record. The last children born to them were girl twins, who 
died the same year. The second daughter, named Abigail, 
also died in infancy. The youngest daughter to grow up and 
marry, Lydia, has no surviving descendants. She married 
first Samuel Lee, and her two boys, Mark Anthony and Samuel 
were drowned with their cousins, the Howe boys, in an acci- 
dent that cast a gloom over the town of that day. True to the 
marine traditions of her family, Mrs. Lee then married Capt. 
Attwood — the writer always heard her spoken of by his father 
as "Aunt Attwood." Her one child by that marriage, Abby, 
married a brother of Mrs. James De Wolf, Hersey Bradford, — 
so a cousin thus became an aunt by marriage to all of Capt. 
James De Wolf's family, and a very dear aunt and uncle they 
were, and very merry were the family gatherings at Uncle 
Hersey's home, now the residence of Col. Samuel Norris, corner 
of Bradford and Main streets, Bristol. Very dear and delight- 
ful cousins, too, were Uncle Hersey's children, Hersey and 
Seraphina, of the next generation, but both died unmarried, 
and so as to Aunt Attwood's line : 

" Now my story is done." 

The remaining three sisters certainly made up for the lack 
of descendants, from the four already considered. The eldest, 
Margaret, married Joseph Diman, of Bristol. At the time of 
the birth of their children they lived in a house that stood on 
the northeast corner of Hope and Constitution streets. At the 
time of her death, however, Mrs. Diman was living in a house 
which is still standing on the southwest corner of Hope and 
Court streets. The fine residence, known as the Diman man- 
sion, which once stood upon Thames street, just north of the 
store of William R. Taylor, was built by her son. 

Of the " Diman wharf," which extended from this place, 
little now remains. Both of her sons. Royal and Jeremiah, 
were sea captains. From these two sons and her daughter 
Margaret — Mrs. Liscolm, have descended the numerous Bristol 
families of that name. 

The most prominent of them in the State in former days 
was Gov. Francis Moore Dimon. Though born in Bristol he 
went to Cuba in early life and later became Consul at Port Au 
Prince, Haiti, and afterwards for many years, held the same

position at Vera Cruz, Mexico. His thorough knowledge of 
the place and language made him of great service to President 
Polk and General Scott in planning the bombardment of that 
city during the Mexican War. For this and because of his 
being so beloved and respected by the inhabitants he was 
assigned the honor of entering the city at the head of the vic- 
torious army. At the termination of the war he was made 
Collector of the Port of Vera Cruz, and the United States 
awarded him a large tract of land for his great services and 
kindness to the Texas prisoners. On his return to Rhode 
Island he was elected Lieut. -Governor, and as the Governor, 
Hon. Philip Allen, became almost immediately after his elec- 
tion U. S. Senator, Lieut. -Governor Dimond served as Governor 
nearly the entire term. He spent his declining years in his 
beautiful home, already spoken of as once the home of others 
of the De Wolf family, Capt. and Mrs. Hersey Bradford, and 
which is still the home of Gov. Dimond's daughter, the wife of 
Col. Samuel Norris and their children Samuel Norris, Jr., a 
successful member of the Rhode Island Bar and his sister to 
whom the writer is indebted for the above facts concerning 
her distinguished grandfather. To-day, Margaret De Wolf's 
branch of the family is distinguished by Miss Emma Bradford 
Stanton, the Associate Registrar for the Women's College 
of Brown University. 

The fourth daughter, if we count both the Abigails, was 
named Nancy Potter. The writer's search for her descendants 
furnishes a good example of the genealogist's difficulties and 
fascinating surprises. As his father had often spoken of his 
"Aunt Nancy Kinnicutt," and as her niece, the last of the 
grandchildren of Mark Anthony De Wolf, Mrs. Charles Lovett 
was still living when he began his search, he naturally believed 
it an easy task. It was known that, with a young family of chil- 
dren, Mrs. Kinnicutt had moved from Warren, R. I., to Scho- 
harie Co., N. Y. Beyond this all search seemed vain — she had 
begun to be referred to by the cousins joining in the quest as 
our "elusive Aunt Kinnicutt," and her biography consisted of 
the quotation from a letter of Mrs. Lovett's granddaughter and 
namesake. Miss Josephine Brooks (daughter of Rev. John 
Brooks, and niece of the great Bishop of Massachusetts): "All 
that any of us have known about her is that the bears used 
to come out of the mountains on moonlight nights and prowl 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 53 

about the piazza in Schoharie, N. Y., which used greatly to 
impress my childish imagination." The conclusion seemed 
irresistable that "Aunt Kinnicutt" and her nine children had 
been brought to an imtimely end by the bears — when a happy 
accident discovered a great-grandchild in Mrs. Hall, wife of 
Prof. Edward Winslow Hall, Librarian of Colby College, 
Waterville, Me. She kindly furnished the first information 
obtained in regard to Nancy De Wolf, and put the writer in 
communication with other members of the family. To one 
of these, Mr. George A. Perry of New York City, the writer 
is under great obligation, not only for his labor of love in 
tracing out all the ramifications of this line of De Wolfs, but 
also for invaluable aid in arranging the tables of Perry descent 
and for many other services. 

Nancy Potter De Wolf was married June 16, 1782, in Bristol, 
R. I., by the Rev. Solomon Townsend to Edward Kinnicutt. 
Their home was in Warren, R. I., the home of her husband's 
family, the last of whom has recently died there. They lived 
in Warren until the birth of their third child, when they moved 
to Schoharie Co., N. Y. Here, as has been seen above, they 
battled with the conditions of a new settlement; but the tradi- 
tions preserved by her descendants of Mrs. Kinnicutt's charac- 
ter, person and bearing, show that the strong will and sense of 
family dignity so characteristic of her race were not broken by 
uncongenial environment. Her granddaughter, Mrs. Celia 
Smith, (daughter of her son Edward), is the chief living 
authority for these traditions, as she was sixteen years of age 
at the time of her father's death, and remembers much that 
her father related of his mother. According to Mrs. Smith, 
so Mr. Perry writes, " Nancy was regarded as 'aristocratic,' but 
very generous and kind. There was no doubt that she was 
really a beautiful woman with a light complexion, but dark 
hair and eyes — a type that descended to her eldest child, 
Samuel De Wolf, his daughter Marietta and others. The 
same petite figure and quick, impulsive vivacious manner 
appeared in many of her descendants. Nancy De Wolf had 
the poetic temperament in full measure." 

" It is said she would never turn anyone in want from her 
door. Every tramp was fed, but she would stand over him 
while eating and lecture him soundly for his shiftlessness. 
She was devoted to the Church, but as there was no Episcopal 



54 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Church near them, some of the Kinnicutt family became 
attendants at the Baptist." Mr. Perry thus sums up her 
character: "She was quick, vivacious and impulsive, and 
withal a strong, generous and noble woman, devoted to the 
duties of her home and of her Church." Edward Kin- 
nicutt, her husband was of good old New England stock. His 
paternal descent was John, son of John, son of Roger Kin- 
nicutt. On the maternal side his mother, Hannah Gorham, 
was daughter of Jabez, son of Jabez, son of Capt. John 
(xorham, whose wife was Desire Howland, daughter of John 
and Elizabeth [Tilley] Hov/land; both of the Mayflower, 
and the latter probably the granddaughter of Gov. Carver. 
Moving to Schoharie County, they purchased a large estate, 
and built one of the first homesteads in that part of the State. 
Here until their death they mamtained a home of refinement 
and culture, and were widely known and highly esteemed. 
They kept in touch with their kindred and friends in Rhode 
Island. Mrs. Kinnicutt was a favorite sister of her brother 
James, only four years his senior, and one of the memories of 
her children was his visit to Schoharie, driving all the way 
from his home in Bristol in a " Coach and Four." " My mother 
remembered," writes Mrs. Hall, "boxes of goodies that used to 
arrive in Cobbleskill from James De Wolf. The coffee, tea, 
spices, raisins, etc., were superior to anything ever seen there." 
Edward Kinnicutt fell dead April 27th, 1820, Five years 
later Nancy executed a will, witnessed by James and William 
De Wolf and Hersey Bradford. It is a quaint document, pre- 
served by Mr. G. A. Perry. Full of the complex legal phrases 
of the day, space does not permit its full reproduction here. 
After a Christian commendation of soul and body to her 
Maker, in full assurance of the Resurrection "when the trum- 
pet shall summon it {i. e. her body) to a glorious and intermin- 
able association with its immortal companion in the skies," she 
divides her estate among her children and grandchildren, mak- 
ing many of those old-time bequests which throw light upon 
the value of such possessions in the time of our great grand- 
mothers. Thus she leaves to each of her children "one silver 
tablespoon, having the initials 'N, D.'W.' engraved thereon." 
In the case of her son Samuel, "said spoon after his death to 
his daughter Marietta." The treasured possession of one of 
these spoons by Mrs. Hall was almost all she knew of her 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 55 

great grandmother, as her mother, Mrs. Hascall, had been sent 
to her paternal grandfather in West Rutland, Vt., at an early- 
age. The will bequeaths the homestead to Joseph, her oldest 
son, except the occupancy of her own sleeping room, which is 
left to her daughter Nancy, and these two remained there 
unmarried till the time of their death. To her daughter Abigail 
Vincent she left her " looking-glass, large rocking chair, a bed 
quilt and a book entitled the ' Life of Sarah Osborn';" to her 
daughter Mary Ann Harman, "my string of gold beads, a 
small well finished cherry chest, and the book entitled ' Sher- 
lock on Death';" and to her "granddaughter Julia Vincent, 
a set of calico bed curtains." 

As we have seen, Joseph and Nancy remained unmarried, 
William died at nineteen, many years before his parents, 
Charles and James died in infancy. Only four of her children 
married, yet Nancy De Wolf's descendants number one hun- 
dred and seventeen, of whom seventy-nine are (March 15, 
1902) still living, but none bear the name of Kinnicutt. Of 
the oldest married son, Samuel De Wolf Kinnicutt, his grand- 
son, Mr. Perry, writes such a charming sketch that space must 
be made for a liberal quotation in his own words. 

" My grandfather was a most picturesque and interesting 
character, — a refined gentleman of the old school. I spent my 
early childhood at the Kinnicutt Homestead, which he built 
and which to me as I look back was a most delightful spot. 
He used to tell me the old classical stories of Greece and 
Rome, and the mysteries of astronomy. The homesteads were 
well supplied with books, and both Samuel and his brother 
Edward were fond of reading. I often found my grandfather 
reading his 'Horace' or 'Locke on the Understanding.' He 
recited poetry by the page. I cannot remember when I did 
not know about James De Wolf, and of his ships and losses at 
the time the embargo, and of his ' grand mansion ' in Bristol 
and the visits he made to his sister Nancy. In fact he made 
my childhood a delightful dream. His gentleness and beauti- 
ful character endeared him to me as a constant inspiration, 
and when at the age of eighty-seven, in 1865, he died while I 
was away at school, it seemed as if I had lost my best friend. 
He is buried on the old estate." 

Samuel Kinnicutt had built his own house a half-mile east 
of the original home, the latter about one hundred years old. 



56 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Samuel's house was burned in 1826, but upon the same site he 
built a second, the house Mr. Perry remembers — the winding 
staircase down whose rail he took many a ride, the great open J 
fire place around which they gathered and cracked hickory 
nuts in the long winter nights, when from the neighboring J 
homestead his Uncle Edward often joined them, and the 
brothers discussed the news of the Crimean War. 

In regard to the many fine old pine trees on the estate, their 
"trunks straight as a mast, three or four feet in diameter, 
without a limb or a knot for one hundred feet or so," relics of 
the "forest primeval," Mr. Perry tells a characteristic story of 
his grandfather. As the estate became divided into small 
farms, one noble monarch of the forest after another had been 
sacrificed — cut, drawn and quartered by the new neighboring 
saw mills. One still stood in solitary grandeur on a hill near b)'. 
Often Mr. Kinnicutt would climb the hill to gaze at the noble 
tree and reflect on the cruel wantonness that had cut down all 
its companions. One day, taking its owner to the tree, he 
asked him to put a price upon it. "Well, Mr. Kinnicutt," was 
the reply, " I will cut it down and saw it into lumber which 
you shall have at the lowest price." "Cut it down! cut it 
down!" exclaimed Mr. Kinnicutt with burning indignation, 
"I do not want it cut; I want it to stand right here!" This 
was a puzzling and novel business proposition to the unsen- 
timental settler, but the tree was saved. 

Mr. S. De W. Kinnicutt's only son, a promising young man, 
died at nineteen. His two daughters married; the older, 
Marietta, became the wife of John Henry Coons, well known 
in the county, and for several years County Clerk; Hester Ann 
married Henry Nelson Perry, the father of our correspondent, 
a man described as not only very handsome in person, but " a 
real gentleman by nature, very bright, quick and generous to 
a fault." Their son, Mr. George A. Perry, who has been so 
frequently quoted, a resident of New York City, his summer 
home on Lake Champlain, has two sons who, with himself, 
inherit the literary tastes of Samuel Kinnicutt — Mr. Perry 
enlisting while still a student of Charlotte Seminary, N. Y., in 
the 91st N. Y. Vol. Reg't., served throughout the war, then re- 
turned to school, later took his Master's Degree at Wes- 
leyan University, and has been a classical teacher all his 
life — his oldest son, Ralph Barton, graduated at Princeton with

high honors, Class of 96, later took three years post graduate 
course in Philosophy at Harvard, and after having been an 
instructor in Philosophy in Williams' College and in Smith's 
College has just received the appointment to the same position 
in Harvard University. His younger brother, Edward De 
Wolf, after attending Princeton University has entered on a 
course of Naval Architecture in the Massachusetts Institute 
of Technology, 

As we have seen, neither of the two sons of Nancy De Wolf 
Kinnicutt who married left male issue. Nancy's daughter 
Mary Ann married in Hardwick, Mass., Henry Harmon. Of 
their three children, Charles married his cousin Emeline 
Kinnicutt; James married Lucinda Lear in Bridgeport, Vt., 
and became the father of several Vermont branches of the 
family; while their only daughter Celia married Ralph Henry 
Hascall, a son of Rev. Daniel Hascall, D.D., the founder of 
Colgate University, N. Y., and a descendant of both William 
Bradford and Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower company. 
Thus, again, were branches of the family established in 
New England and the literary traditions of the Kinnicutt's 
preserved, for a daughter of this last marriage Mary Sophia 
Hascall married Professor Edward Winslow Hall, L.L.D., also 
a descendant of the Alayflower company through his ancestor, 
Francis Cook, and who after serving many years upon the 
Faculty of Colby College, Waterville, Me., is the Librarian and 
Register of that institution of learning. This is the Mrs. Hall 
of whom the writer's indebtedness has been already acknowl- 
edged. 

The only remaining daughter of Mark Anthony De Wolf 
to be considered, Abigail — married at about the age of 
twenty, Capt. Perley Howe who had recently come to Bristol 
from the home of his father, Rev. Perley Howe, at Killingley, 
Conn., of which place the latter, a graduate of Harvard, was 
the congregational minister. The first three sons of this mar- 
riage, the eldest only twenty-five at the time, rovers of the 
sea like their father and their grandfather De Wolf, on return- 
ing from a voyage around the world were wrecked and lost 
with two other grandsons of Capt. Mark Anthony De Wolf on 
the New England shore. Says the beautiful little sketch of 
Bishop Howe by his widow from which many of these facts 
are gathered: "The mother who was anxiously awaiting their

arrival dreamed, on a certain stormy night, that they were in 
mortal peril. The ship never came to land, but the repentant 
waves left on the shore some records of their cruel work. 
What wonder that the dream and its interpretation were 
thought to be one!" Mr. Charles De Wolf Brownell con- 
tributes a family tradition somewhat awesome that might 
seem to belong to this accident — perhaps another form of the 
story which Mrs. Howe preserves. Only as Mr. Brownell 
writes, he does not "know that any of the old family who 
were lost at sea were married," as the reference of the child 
to a "father would imply." Thus runs the tale: " In the great 
storm when they were supposed to be lost, one of the 
children woke up, in the middle of the night, sat up in 
bed and called out: 'Mother, there's father,' and the same 
moment a table with folding leaves, standing in the middle of 
the floor, turned bottom side up, the leaves falling flat on the 
floor. On the same night my grandfather, Capt. Charles De 
Wolf had a dream that he met one of the sailors of the ship 
and asked him: 'Jack, where's your captain and where's your 
mate?' The answer came back: ' The captain's gone and the 
mate's left behind.' " To whomsoever this story may relate, 
(after many of the De Wolf family must be written: "Lost at 
sea,") it adds another to a long list of well authenticated dreams 
and presentiments of coming death. Capt. Perley Howe "was 
an ardent patriot in the War of the Revolution, and was im- 
poverished by a too confident trust in the value of continental 
money." He therefore resorted to teaching, in this occupation 
spending his last years in Hartford, Killingly and Weathers- 
field, Conn. In Killingly, John Howe was born. After her 
husband's death, the widow returned with her two boys, John 
and George, to Bristol. Here she married a second time, Capt. 
Jeremiah Ingfraham. She probably occupied as Mrs. Ingraham 
the home which, much altered, still stands south of the Post- 
office. It was in this house her grandson. Bishop Howe, was 
born. The writer remembers when it was the home of the only 
child of the second marriage, Mary Ingraham, the wife of Rev. 
John West. This latter very handsome couple, John and Mary 
West, in this house brought up a large family who inherited 
the beauty and vivacity of their parents. The numerous 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Mrs. Abigail (De 
Wolf) Howe have maintained the family name both for fair-

ness of face and sweetness of disposition, leaders in the circle 
of society scattered from Mexico and California to New York • 
from Charlestown to Newport and Bristol. The inconstant sea 
continued its cruel bereavements to Abigail De Wolf, depriv- 
ing her of her second husband, but she herself lived to be 
nearly eighty years of age. Of her son John, Hon. Nathaniel 
Bullock, his brother in the profession of the law, and a fellow 
student under Judge Bourn, writes in an obituary in the 
Bristol Phcenix^ March i8, 1864, at the time of Mr. Howe's death: 

" He graduated at Rhode Island College, now Brown Uni- 
versity, in the year 1805, and was distinguished among the 
members of a numerous class for diligence in his studies and 
correct deportment. On leaving college, he devoted himself 
to the study of law under Judge Bourn, and on admission to 
the bar commenced the practice of his profession in this town, 
and continued in it till in 1841 he was appointed Collector of 
the Customs for the District of Bristol and Warren by Presi- 
dent Harrison. 

With talents peculiarly adapted to his chosen profession, 
and a mind already disciplined to study, he soon secured a fair 
practice and an enviable reputation at the bar, then regularly 
attended by such lawyers as Burrill, Burgess and Searle of 
Providence ; and Hazard, Robbins and Hunter of Newport. 
No advocate was ever more faithful, or more closely identified 
himself with his client. His manner as a speaker was delib- 
erate, forcible and impressive. If the trial involved a mooted 
question of law for the consideration of the Court, he never 
failed to come to the discussion well prepared, and opposing 
counsel was sure to find a hard antagonist to encounter. 

He early took a part in the politics of the day, making his 
debut as a Federalist in opposition to a large family con- 
nexion that had influence enough to control the polls at town 
elections. He thus cast his lot with a party that was in the 
minority not only in the town, but also in the State and Coun- 
try. Had self-interest or ambition for official preferment 
been his leading object, he would have united with his power- 
ful kindred, and thrown himself into the majority. But he 
based his political opinions on principles he believed to be 
right, and was not to be shaken from them. 

He contracted good habits in his youth, and sustained an 
unblemished moral character throughout his life. He was 



6o HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

happy in his domestic ties, and performed all the duties of 
that relationship with devoted and warm affection. He was a 
constant worshipper at St. Michael's Church, and one of its 
Vestry many years ; made a public profession of his faith in 
the Christian religion four years before his death, and died in 
the hope it inspires." 

Mr. Howe was also fond of literary studies, and was the 
author of many able articles and essays, many in advocacy of 
the protection policy of the Whigs, to which party he attached 
himself when the Federal party expired. He represented 
Bristol in the General Assembly for a number of years. He 
built the handsome residence on Hope street, later known as 
the house of Gov. Byron Diman, and to this new home brought 
his only child, Mark Anthony De Wolf, when nine weeks old- 
He had married Louise Smith, a sister of Benjamin Bosworth 
Smith, who lived to be Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal 
Church in the United States. Mrs. Howe was a descendant of 
Richard Smith, one of the founders of Bristol in 1680, and 
first town clerk. His wife was known for her loveliness of 
character. She and the writer's grandmother were devoted 
friends, their husbands, business partners. Mr. Howe was with 
Abel Jones, viewing land of Mr. Jones where Chicago now 
stands, when the latter died. It was looking out of her window 
and seeing Mr. Howe lead back her husband's riderless horse 
that gave Mrs. Jones the first news of her husband's death, five 
months before the birth of their daughter Julia. 

It was in the beautiful home of Bishop Howe, " Weetamoe," 
at Bristol, that the writer used to watch the strong fine face of 
Mr. John Howe, who spent his last days with his son, while the 
writer's friend, Mr. Howe's grandson Herbert, then showing 
every indication of becoming a great artist, painted his grand- 
father's portrait. It was many years later in the old parlor of 
Silver Creek after bidding adieu to the friend of his youth that 
the aged Bishop was assisted to his carriage, stricken with the 
beginning of the illness which a few days later called him to 
his reward. But, although the writer was privileged with the 
inspirations of the Bishop in childhood and of his counsels in 
later years, and was brought up in intimacy with his children, 
and although he has listened to many an anecdote of Bristol's 
history from the lips of the Bishop, than whom none knew or 
loved his native town better, he can do better for his readers

than himself, attempting to sketch the Bishop's character. 
There will be found in later pages of this volume a brief 
sketch of the first Bishop of Central Pennsylvania, by his own 
son and namesake, already making himself favorably known 
in literary circles in connection with the Youths' Companion 
and as editor of some charming volumes. 

Of the long line of the Howe family whose portraits through 
the courtesy of Dr. Herbert M. Howe and other sons of Bishop 
Howe, adorn these pages, the youngest is that of John Fell 
Howe, son of Dr. Herbert M. Howe, and the great-great-great 
grandson of Mark Anthony De Wolf. The only son of his father, 
beloved and respected by all who knew him, already having 
shown promise of those splendid talents which have distin- 
guished so many of his family and, as will be seen by his portrait, 
not lacking in those personal attractions for which the De Wolfs 
have been noted, a face of singular purity and sweetness, as 
well as enkindled with lofty purpose — he may appropriately 
close the line of six generations of De Wolf faces that look 
forth from these pages — symbolizing all that is most desirable 
and hoped for from the living descendants. His bright life 
closed Dec. 31, 1895, in his twenty-first year, his junior year at 
Yale college, yet not before he had set an example of manli- 
ness, of Christian character, of high intellectual attainments 
that lives after him, so that his teacher and friend, Rev. Charles 
W. Coit, a master of St. Paul's School, Concord, in his address 
at his funeral, could say: "My brothers, the life of John Howe 
is not really over. His fragrant memory will always live with 
those who knew and loved him. It was impossible to look into 
his clear, frank, open countenance without recognizing the 
truth and innocence and reverence for good things that dwelt 
within. * * While entering with keen enjoyment into all 
manly pursuits and exercises, both on land and water; while 
holding a high place in all his studies, for which his clear, 
strong mind and his powers of application fully qualified him, 
John Howe possessed that true manliness which comes from 
strict adherence to high principles." 

A life which called forth such high praise from his teacher, 
while college classmates, united in speaking of him as " one 
whose Christian character and manly bearing endeared him to 
all who knew him," does not close, however early, without 
stamping its indelible mark for good. On his father's side he 



62 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

inherited the high moral and religious traits and intellectual 
attainments that has been described in the preceding pages. 
Indeed, much in the description of his character given in the 
memorial which is here quoted, reminds the writer of what he 
had heard from his mother's lips of the seriousness, yet joy- 
ousness, the depth of thought and the brilliancy of wit of his 
grandfather Bishop Howe, when a college tutor. From the 
side of his mother, Mary W. Fell Howe, he inherited "an 
unusual degree of practical and business skill, together with a 
large degree of common sense, that rare gift so desirable yet 
so hard to define" (In Memoriam, Bristol Phcenix, Jan. 7, 1896), 
as well he might, from the daughter of Gillingham Fell, one of 
the most prominent, successful and respected of Philadelphia's 
great business men; the president of the Union League of 
Philadelphia, during the war. The enduring inspiration which 
such a life should exert on all the younger generations, for 
whom these pages are chiefly written, shines forth in these 
graceful lines of William G. Low, Jr., one of the "ten trusty 
friends and classmates who bore him to his grave." 

"Thou belted knight, sealed with the holy cross ; 
Thine is immortal gain and ours the loss ! 
God saw thee early, foremost in the fight, 
And took thy soul to join the Hosts of Light ! " 

The deep, yet triumphant sorrow of his kinsmen and 
friends, breathes in the lines of his uncle, M. A. De W. Howe, 
as he paced the ice-bound shore that skirts the ancestral home, 
"Weetamoe," in Bristol. 

"To walk beside this winter shore, 
Was not for his young feet ; 
Of summer learned he all his lore, 
Smiling from life's wide opened door 
A summer world to greet. 
The icy channel's narrowed span 
'T was not for him to know ; 
His current widening as it ran, 
Still smoothly spreads as it began ; 
Free from our frosts and snow." 

For such a life one may pray with sure Christian confi- 
dence, as does the memorial before us — as does the writer for all 
those "gone before" whose names are recorded in these pages. 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 63 

"Grant them, O Lord, eternal rest; 
And let perpetual light shine upon them." 

The reign of the De Wolfs as the dominant family of the 
town is ended. Few of the old mansions fling wide their doors 
as of old to merry throngs. The wharves of the old sea cap- 
tains are many of them rotting in the harbor. Not by any 
means that Bristol presents the aspect of a "deserted village." 
Quite the contrary. Its population has greatly increased, and 
is certainly much more diversified than in early days. The 
whistles of the National Rubber Works summon greater 
streams of humanity than were once employed in the shops 
and counting houses ; at the shore may be seen as great gath- 
erings to witness the launching of the latest wonder that glides 
from the ways at the Hereshoffs' as were accustomed to collect 
there to see the great casks of Jamaica rum or Havana molasses 
rolled on the wharves. With steamers in the harbor and cars 
taking the place of the stage-coach, strangers have been 
attracted by the beauties of the town. A beautiful succession 
of residences crowns the Ferry hill. Among these new homes 
the De Wolfs do not lack representation. Among them is the 
beautiful home of Dr. Herbert M. Howe, the oldest son of 
Bishop Howe, and to whom the writer is indebted for much aid 
in this work, including the copies of fine portraits in his posses- 
sion — one by his own brush ; for he has combined the unusual 
gifts of an artist, a physician, and an eminently prosperous 
and successful business man. Yet with all its more recent 
prosperity, Bristol seems full of voices of the past — shadows of 
faded splendors and mysterious whisperings of romances; aye, 
tragedies too, of bygone days. The sob of sailless waves 
bewails the once mighty masters of ships as they idly splash 
against the deserted wharves. The day of the Vikings is 
past. The graceful pleasure boats, with great white wings 
over inconspicuous hulls, sent forth by the Hereshoffs to win 
silver cups of victory are but as the summer water fowl that 
skim the waves which were once ploughed by mighty Dino- 
saurs of trade, laden with the riches of the Indies, and the 
dark monsters of the deep whose capacious maws echoed with 
the unspeakable captive laments of their human freight. 

The great fortunes won from the deep seem to have been 
called back to it, like the return of the golden ring to the 
Rhine maidens. Lost by misfortune, sometimes, it must be

confessed, squandered, the wealth of the De Wolfs no longer 
excites the envy or claims the admiration of former days. 
"Old Bristol" looks calmly, if somewhat curiously, on the new 
Bristol rising in its midst. 

"The old order changeth, giving place to new."

AM ASA DE WOLF (29), 

Oldest Great-grandson of Charles De Wolf, 
OF Gaudaloupe. 

Born 1778 ; Died 1859. 



CHAPTER II. 



DESCEr>roANTS OF SIMON DE WOLF. 



TN the inception of his work, the writer knew nothing of 
-*• Simon the older son of Charles of Guadalcape, other than 
the incorrect entry in some of the family bibles: " Simon never 
returned to America." Another erroneous tradition in the 
Rhode Island family was that from Simon sprang the Canadian 
branches of the De Wolfs. 

It has been as gratifying as surprising to become acquainted 
through correspondence with a great number of Simon's 
widely scattered descendants. This was first accomplished 
through the Rev. Erastus De Wolf of Boerne, Texas. The 
writer knew that his father, Rev. Erastus De Wolf, Sr., had 
visited James De Wolf in Bristol, and was well remembered 
there. Simon's descendants have been as enterprising in fell- 
ing primeval forests and subduing the wilderness, becoming 
founders of new communities in the west as were the sons 
of Mark Anthony in ploughing the seas. Simon De Wolf was 
sent home from Guadaloupe, West Indies, to his grandfather 
Charles at Middletown, Conn. At the time he could have been 
but a little boy, for he was born 1718 and his grandfather 
died in 1731 when Simon was but thirteen. His younger 
uncles, with whom he grew up, were about his own age. The 
records, carefully searched for the writer by the genealogist, 
Frank Farnsworth Starr, Esq., of that place, show that Simon, 
grandson of Charles (of Middletown) was living at Middletown 
in 1733 and also 1740-1 741. He must be carefully distinguished 
from his uncle Simon who appears as a resident of Reading 
Parish in the town of Fairfield. Into his grandfather's family 
Simon seems to have first introduced the French modification 
of the name, leading to such various spellings that some 
descendants lost the knowledge of their relationship to their 



66 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

first ancestors. It may be as well here as anywhere to deal 
with this question and to offer such apology as may be due for 
adopting in the tables a uniform spelling. It was impossible 
to learn in many cases, and would have been perplexing m all, 
to follow the varieties of spelling among members of the 
family sometimes related so closely as father and son or first 
cousins. With very few exceptions (in which the variation 
was designedly preserved) the spelling most common in the 
family has been adopted-" De Wolf,"— but not with any pur- 
pose of arbitrating in the fierce family dispute as to which is 
correct. Without going back to the European transitions— 
de Wolf-possibly Der Wolf, de Loup, etc., which has been 
so ably treated in the preface, it is sufficient to begin with the 
first American ancestor. The Salisburys state that the sig- 
nature of Balthasar to legal papers bearing the date of 1678 
sent to Mrs. Salisbury by the late Charles J. Hoadley, the state 
librarian of Connecticut, is written " Baltasar de wolf" and 
that of his son, "Edward de wolfe." In the decree of the 
courts, 1656, to which we shall have occasion to refer later, it 
is given " Baltazar de Woolfe." There was probably no 
material change until Charles De Wolf went to the French 
island of Guadaloupe. His son Simon returned to Connecticut 
and brought with him the French pronunciation of the name, 
"D'olf," the French language of course having no "w." It is 
singular, however, that although both sons returned to Amer- 
ica, both espousing the cause against the English, and although 
the time had not arrived, as in the days of Jefferson when 
French customs and manners were sedulously imitated— this 
Frenchified form of the name became immediately popular in 
the grandfather's family, and soon efforts appear to express 
the sound in orthography. A complete collection of early 
autographs would doubtless show the steps of the transition. 
The writer sought to obtain such without success. The sig- 
nature of Abda, son of Charles' youngest son Joseph, hence of 
the same generation as Simon, found upon a paper dated 1782 
among the records at Albany, is "Abda Dewolph," according to 
Mr. John M. Dolph his descendant, showing, as the latter argues, 
that the name De Wolf was still intended to be preserved. The 
following extracts from letters to the author from Mr. John M. 
Dolph of Port Jervis, N. Y., brother of the United States Sen- 
ator Dolph of Oregon, sheds still further light upon the change: 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 67 

" Members of nearly all the families of the sons of Charles 
of Middletown took the name 'Dolph' with various spellings. 
Matthew's children born in Bolton were some of them residents 
in Glastonbury — and these spelled the name D'Olph for more 
than one hundred years. There are Dolphs still living at Deep 
River, Conn., descended from that Charles Dolph who was 
killed in 1815 while leading in the capture of the British 
privateer Rover ^ and whose widow was pensioned by Congress 
in 1 8 16. The Pennsylvania Dolphs of whom Mrs. Salisbury 
speaks, were the descendants of Moses Dolph, who was a 
Revolutionary soldier, and who after the Revolution went to 
Mountain Meadows, Wayne Co., Pa. In 1795, he was the 
largest tax-payer in that part of the state. Between 1795 and 
1800 he sold his property in Wayne Co. to the father of the 
historian Goodrich and moved to the site of the present city of 
Scranton. My grandfather Joseph Dolph, then living at St. 
Ann, went down there and made the first survey of that part 
of the valley. I have a letter from Edward Dolph of Scranton 
in which he says he remembers his grandfather Moses Dolph 
very well, and that he can remember his saying that the name 
was originally ' De Wolf ' and that some of the family retained 
the name ' De Wolf.' " 

Moses seems to have been married three times, first to a 
McCarty of Salisbury, so his grandson stated. " Goodrich says 
that Moses Dolph married the daughter of Jacob Stanton at 
Mountain Meadow in 1780 and of whom Moses bought his 
home at that place." "One of the oldest members of grand- 
father's family has told me that Joseph who was born 1767 and 
was over twenty years old when his father made the change 
(z. e. *De Wolf to 'Dolph') never was reconciled to it. The 
tradition in the family seems to be, and I find it in all branches, 
that they considered 'De Wolf the French name of which 
' Dolph ' was an English equivalent." How curiously this expla- 
nation was the reverse of the facts, the change to " Dolph " 
being a French influence in a name that had been "De Wolf," 
or earlier "de Wolf," used in Connecticut for at least eighty 
years before the corruption to " Dewolph " and " Dolph. " The 
same writer in his essay read at the Dolph Reunion, Kinsman, 
Trumbull Co., Ohio, accounting for the spread of the abbrevi- 
ated form by the close companionship of Simon and his family 
with other children of his grandfather, says: 



68 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

"One of Edward's sons served in the same regiment as 
Abda. Moses Dolph, another cousin, ancestor of the Pennsyl- 
vania Dolphs, served in another Albany company. John 
Dolph, another cousin, was in a New York regiment of the 
line. Abda was associating all the time with his own cousins, 
who wrote the name 'Dolph,' nevertheless he continued to 
use his own name up to 1782, only changing the 'f to 'ph,' 
making the name 'DeWolph,' as he signed it in 1782. It is 
probable that the change was finally made when he went to 
Washington County, about 1790, for Ruth was married in 1791 
as Ruth Dolph." That Simon's own family continued this 
altered form of the name is ascertained from quite indepen- 
dent sources. Simon's great granddaughter, still living at the 
age of ninety, says : "When I was young my name was Eliza 
Dolph, some wrote ' Deaolph,' my father did so. He examined, 
and said the true name was De Wolf." The writer remembers 
hearing his own father, James De Wolf Perry, say that when 
the Rev. Erastus De Wolf came to Bristol, he spelled his name 
"Dolph" until convinced by the former's grandfather, Hon. 
James De Wolf, of the true spelling. None of the Rhode 
Island family have ever thus changed the name, but undoubt- 
edly have, from their ancestor Mark Anthony, the second son 
of Charles of Guadaloupe, through the same French influence, 
inherited the practice still very usual among them of spelling 
the name with an apostrophe, "D'Wolf." It is probable from 
these facts that this latter custom began with their father when 
living in Guadaloupe : hence this spelling has been adopted in 
using his name in the title of this book. Hoping that this 
lengthy orthographical dissertation may be of some aid to 
future genealogists, and serve as an explanation for the varia- 
tions of spelling in this present work, let us return to the per- 
sonal history of these very genuine De Wolfs, even though 
they "juggled with so honorable a name," as my correspondent, 
Mr. O. J. De Wolf, complains. 

Simon De Wolf had three sons. A diligent search of origi- 
nal records, while revealing the married names of his daugh- 
ters, discovers no mention of his sons, Amasa and Mark 
Anthony, beyond the record of their birth. But we learned 
from Mr. Jonathan Farr, of Black Rock, Pa., that he had heard 
his grandfather in his old age, sing a song composed by the lat- 
ter's uncle, Mark Anthony. Mr. Farr's older sister says that Mark 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 69 

Anthony, son of Simon, was quite a composer of music and 
poetry. The family believe that he never married. Of Amasa, 
Simon's second son, nothing is known. Perhaps "he died in 
childhood." Of Charles, Simon's oldest son, whose numerous 
descendants are traced in the following pages, his venerable 
granddaughter writes : 

"I think his family were all born in Brooklyn, Conn. 
Grandfather was a hatter by trade. I do not think they were 
very rich, but industrious and honest, and had a reasonable 
share of sense." Later he moved to Mehoopany, Wyoming 
County, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1814. Here his 
younger children were brought up, attending the district 
schools, and were bright scholars, as Mrs. Stone had learned 
from her elders. In Wyoming and the neighboring counties 
the family chiefly made their home, where many of the descend- 
ants are still farmers. Amasa, the oldest, and Clement, the 
youngest of his sons, married at Mehoopany. Elisha,' the 
fourth son, married at Braintrim, Luzerne County, where the 
third son, Giles Meigs, also lived. From these prolific seed 
beds of the family its representatives have scattered all over 
the West to the Pacific coast. They are especially numerous 
in Ohio, Iowa and Illinois. Of these hardy pioneer settlers of 
Western lands, the venerable Mrs. Stone thus quaintly writes : 
"My life has been mostly on the frontiers. The De Wolfs, 
as far as I am acquainted with them, are honest, industrious,' 
self-reliant people. If one place does not suit them, they try 
another. They like to paddle their own canoe. We of the 
new States and Territories have the same Father to rule over 
us. We have many privations to endure ; still there are many 
pleasures in a new country while we are improving our homes. 
A contented mind is a continual feast." Many a reader will 
recognize family traits in these quaint but expressive words. 
By these migrations the counties of Northwestern Penn- 
sylvania were, however, by no means drained of their hardy 
stock. Among these thrifty farmers remaining there, descend- 
ants of Charles' oldest son are most numerous. Like his 
father, Amasa was a hatter as well as farmer. He used to tell 
his grandson, Mr. Jonathan Farr, in whose family he was liv- 
ing when he died, of himself and father making ten hats 
which they sent to France, and received for them one hundred 
dollars. So there seems a time when America set the fashion 



70 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

for hats in Paris ! Amasa also was, like so many of his fam- 
ily a school teacher and a teacher of music, and "almost to 
the last day of his life sang a song of his uncle Mark Anthony 
De Wolf's composing." Only one son survives him, Mr. 
Lafayette Erastus De Wolf, the Postmaster of Nimble, Penn- 
sylvania, but there are many of his descendants on farms m 
and about Wyoming County; the Farrs, Eastons, Taylors, 
besides the families of Mark Anthony, Amasa, Charles, and 

Lafayette De Wolf. 

The descendants of Simon De Wolf have not, however, 
been confined to agriculture. They have made their mark in 
all the learned professions and in business pursuits. Of the 
children of Amasa (Charles' oldest son), Mark Anthony had a 
son Dr. James De Wolf, assistant Surgeon in the U. S. Army, 
who bravely fell by the side of General Custer in the battle of 
Big Horn. The family of Charles' second son. Wyllis, was the 
branch brought into most intimate relations with the " Rhode 
Island De Wolfs." Wyllis ran a saw mill in Pennsylvania 
which was carried away by a freshet. Like others of his fam- 
ily he contended with the rough conditions of early settle- 
ments. His son James used to relate that his father, learning 
at dinner one day that a savage wolf was dangerously near his 
little daughter, siezed his gun; but on being told his dog 
" Watch " was with her, replied that she was safe, and coolly 

resumed his meal. 

" The details of the battle between the large dog and the 
wolf used to be of never failing interest to me in young days," 
writes his grandson, William Fletcher DeWolf, of Chicago. 
After the death of Wyllis, his widow and children resided for 
a while in Bristol, R. L, at the home of Hon. John De Wolf, 
who aided the boys in making a start in life. His gifts to the 
family continuing after they had settled in Fall River, Mass., 
are still remembered and gratefully written of by the younger 
generation. Wyllis* son Erastus became an Episcopal clergy- 
man, marrying a daughter of William Pearse of Bristol. 

The Pearse family was one of the oldest and best known 
of the town, having been prominent in St. Michael's Church 
for several generations. Mr. De Wolf spent the earlier 
years of his ministry in Rhode Island. He died bravely 
as a Chaplain in the Civil War. Wounded on the battlefield, 
he continued ministering to those more severely wounded

than himself, until he was carried exhausted from the field, 
soon after to die from the effects of his wounds. The Rev. 
Erastus De Wolf's oldest son, William Wyllis, was admitted to 
the Bar September, 1859, began practice as one of the firm of 
De Wolf & Pinckney, Dixon, Illinois, and in i860 was elected 
Judge of Lee County. Having served in the office two terms, 
Judge De Wolf sacrificed his lucrative profession, and offered 
himself for the sacred ministry. He entered Nashotah Theo- 
logical Seminary, graduating there in 1872, then becoming 
assistant to the Rev. Dr. Locke, at Grace Church, Chicago, and 
Chaplain of St. Luke's hospital. Called to St. John's Church, 
Decatur, Illinois, he was ordained in that church by Bishop 
Whitehouse on St. Mark's Day, 1872, and began a successful 
pastorate, beloved of all, from which he was called to the 
Presence of the great High Priest, July 20th, 1875. In his 
short life he had " purchased to himself a good degree " in two 
of the learned professions. The second and only surviving 
son of the Rev. Erastus and Hannah Pearse De Wolf, Rev. 
Erastus De Wolf, Jr., was until recently working in a mission 
field in Indian Territory. Of his faithfulness there his Bishop 
wrote the author in terms of high praise. He has recently 
accepted a call to St. Helena's Church, Boerne, Texas, where 
he lives with his widowed daughter. 

The ministry of the Episcopal Church includes a third 
grandson of William Wyllis De Wolf, son of his daughter 
Harriet, Rev. Hobart Cooke of the Diocese of Albany, having 
been transferred to that diocese from Connecticut in 1882, and 
now the Rector of All Saints' Church, Hudson, N. Y. There 
are a number of other grandchildren of Wyllis de Wolf (son of 
Charles) successful in various walks of life; his second son 
Wyllis* son, Mr. Joseph Brown De Wolf of Alliance, Ohio, the 
sons of his youngest son James, Mr. William Fletcher De Wolf 
already mentioned, and his younger brother Herbert, a 
jeweller in New Bedford, Mass. His daughter Sarah is 
survived by her daughter, Mrs. Fullerton, who, when Mrs. 
Coy, was an active parishioner of the writer's in his frst charge, 
St. Gabriel's Church, Providence. Giles Meigs De Wolf, the 
second son of Charles and grandson of Simon, lived at Brain- 
trim, Luzerne Co., Pa., until he moved to Cavendish, Vt., where 
some years earlier he had married Miss Anna Spalding. In 
less than five years, however, he returned to Braintrim where

he later removed to the adjoining- Bradford Co., and became a 
prosperous farmer. That he was a man of more than ordinary 
ability is shown in that he taught his son higher branches of 
mathematics than were taught in the public schools {Maga- 
zine of Western History, Vol. XIII, No. 2; Article, "Calvin de 
Wolf.") Two of his children survive him, the oldest, Mrs. Eliza 
Stone, at a great age, and his youngest child, Clement, of Spring- 
dale, Ark. Calvin, the oldest of his sons to live beyond infancy, 
was born in Braintrim, Pa., in 18 15. Having spent his early days 
in that and neighboring portions of Pennsylvania, trained, as we 
have seen by his father in mathematics, and by a friend of his 
father in Latin, Calvin De Wolf started at the age of twenty- 
one, in 1836, to win an education by his industry at Grand River 
Institute, in Ashtabula Co., Ohio. Soon afterwards, finding his 
way into Illinois, he maintained himself by school teaching, 
first at Hadley then in Chicago. While teaching and engaging 
in various other occupations, he began the study of law and 
was admitted to the Bar in 1843. In 1854, he was elected Jus- 
tice of the Peace, at that time in the history of Chicago, a 
a highly important and responsible position, which he held 
until 1879. He held preliminary examinations on many cases 
of great importance. In 1858, he was indicted for aiding in 
the escape of a fugitive slave, but the case after appeal to the 
United States Court was dismissed in 1861 by the advice of 
Hon. E. L. Lamed, U. S. District Attorney. From his earliest 
boyhood he had abhorred slavery, and in 1839 was one of the 
founders of the Anti-slavery Society of Illinois of which he 
became secretary and also one of the editors of the anti-slavery 
organ, the Western Citizen^ in 1842. After retiring from office 
in 1879, ^^ continued to practice law in partnership with his 
son Wallace Leroy De Wolf, who is to-day a successful lawyer 
in Chicago. Judge De Wolf died honored and respected at the 
age of eighty-four, Nov. 28, 1899. 

Singularly enough — a Rhode Island cousin of Judge De 
Wolf, William Frederick De Wolf, came to Illinois only a few 
years earlier, 1836, and moved to Chicago six years later than 
the Judge in 1845. Two young men in a population of four 
thousand — they lived to be old men in a popoulation of two 
million. They saw it grow from its infancy, fled from its 
flames, and beheld it rise Phoenix-like from its ashes. They 
both took energetic part in its life and progress. During the

HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 73 

Civil War, William Frederick De Wolf sent forth his oldest son 
William to die in his country's service. After a career of dis- 
tinguished bravery, "bearing honorable scars gained in the 
conflict at Belmont," and "scarcely refreshed from the toils 
and sufferings of Fort Donelson," the reward for his services 
was a place in the army of the Potomac. 

As lieutenant of Gibson's Flying Artillery, U. S. 3d Regi- 
ment, he received wounds the day preceding the battle of Will- 
iamsburg, from which he died four weeks later in the twenty- 
first year of his age. " How gallantly he bore himself upon that 
fatal field," says an obituary notice now before the writer, "his 
sorrowful comrades will tell. Dismounted by a shot which, 
tearing one limb at the same time stretched his horse lifeless, 
he lost no time in seizing another steed which rushed riderless 
past him, and plunging again into the fight, continued, though 
badly wounded a second time, to encourage his men and main- 
tained his position until his battery was withdrawn from the 
field. This was the closing act of one who has been in no 
ordinary degree beloved and honored among us for his frank, 
loyal, affectionate temper, noble gallantry of sentiment, his 
pure and spotless life. His example, alas, is also his legacy." 

When Mr. William Frederick De Wolf cast his last vote 
for President Benjamin Harrison, the young Republicans of 
Chicago bore him in a chair on their shoulders to the polls. 
In 1896, he died at the age of eighty-five. Active in religious 
life as well as civil, he was one of the founders of St. James 
Episcopal Church, the mother parish of Chicago. 

To return to the line of Simon, while the oldest son of Giles 
Meigs De Wolf was identifying himself with the up-building 
of the metropolis of the West, in the neighboring state of Iowa, 
the next brother, James, was taking no less prominent part in 
the founding of the town of Vail, Iowa. Born during the time 
his parents resided in Cavendish, Vt., but spending his boy- 
hood in Pennsylvania, in early manhood after supporting him- 
self for two years as his brother had done at Grand River 
Institute, he pushed West, first into Illinois, then into Iowa, 
being the first permanent settler in Vail. A member of the 
State Legislature of Illinois, and holding throughout life other 
positions of trust, he practiced many years as a beloved and 
skilled physician, a lover of men and nature, but above all, a 
lover of the God of both, being a Presbyterian Elder and suc-

cessively the founder and chief supporter of three churches. 
He and his brother Calvin met as much to their surprise as to 
their pleasure, as Commissioners to the General Assembly in 
New York, 1889. It was while engaged in religious work that 
Dr. De Wolf met with the accident of being thrown from his car- 
riage, which in 1 89 1 , caused his death, at the age of seventy-three. 
" He was not a rugged man, but careful of health, temperate and 
regular in habits, he was always on duty. Wherever he has 
lived he has enjoyed the confidence of his fellows in a peculiar 
degree," reads the obituary notice of his death. His daughter, 
still making her home with her widov/ed mother, and his son, 
Mr. John Horton De Wolf, in business in Chicago, have been 
among the most zealous to aid in gathering facts in regard to 
this line of the De Wolf family. Giles Meigs' next son, Charles, 
has been survived by many descendants, De Wolfs and Fes- 
sendens, in Minnesota and Nebraska. Giles Meigs' son Luther 
had no children; his son Clement married Miss Beecher and 
lives at Springdale, Ark. Of his daughters besides Mrs. Stone 
of whom mention has been made, who has no children, his daugh- 
ter Fanny married David Brink and has many descendants 
living in Nebraska. Betsey married John Barnes who has left 
among other descendants a son, Rev. George Wyllis Barnes, an 
especially zealous and faithful Baptist Minister, and Mary 
Ellen married Dr. George Northrup, whose son, C. D. North- 
rup is a prosperous stock raiser at Elkland, Pa., on his "Willow 
Brook Farm." Elisha De Wolf, the next in order of the sons of 
Charles (son of Simon), " had a liberal education, was a school 
teacher for many years and held a number of public offices," 
writes his grandson Mr. Loren G. De Wolf. One son of Elisha, 
Giles Newell, is still living at the age of eighty-five, residing 
with his son just mentioned, he like his father was a school 
teacher as well as a harness maker. Elisha's oldest son 
Lyman, was a lawyer of Chicago, while there are grandchildren 
of Elisha by his daughter, the late Mrs. Elizabeth De Wolf 
Keeler. 

The next two children of Charles De Wolf and Elizabeth 
Walbridge, Betsey and Charles, died unmarried. Mrs. Stone 
remembers her Uncle Charles, well. A fall in infancy had 
injured his brain, yet he had a vivid memory of past events and 
in old age was a lovable character, fond of his young relatives.

tended, stepped aside to let a stranger pass, and fell from the 
gallery with her babe in her arms. It was only by a long and 
persistent search that the family of Clement, youngest son of 
Charles, was discovered. Even Mrs. Stone, the oldest surviv- 
ing descendant of Simon, could only write that her Uncle 
Clement had died about the same time that her youngest 
brother was born and named after him; that after marrying 
Nancy Kasson at Mehoopany, Pa., her Uncle Clement moved 
to Johnstown, O., as a teacher. At length by that casting of 
nets in all waters known to the genealogist, a grandson of 
Clement was discovered in Mr. Clark De Wolf of the editorial 
staff of the Columbus {O.) Evening Press, who in turn put the 
writer in communication with the editor of The Leader, Pom- 
eroy, O., and through the patience and industry of these two 
the writer is enabled not only to add a complete table of the 
descendants of Clement, but concludes this chapter with the 
biographical sketches of one of the most picturesque and inter- 
esting groups of the family. The sketch of Clement at least 
deserves to be given in Mr. Smith's own pithy language, though 
space requires the rest of his notes to be somewhat abbreviated. 

** The date of the birth of Clement De Wolf cannot now be 
exactly ascertained. There is good reason, however, to believe 
that he was born in 1783. He died at Racine, Meigs, Co., Ohio, 
from typhoid fever, Sept. 21, 1828. His remains were interred 
in the village burial ground, but as no enduring monument 
was ever erected above his precious dust, the oldest inhabitants 
of the place cannot, at this late day, point out the precise spot. 
They know it was beneath the spreading branches of a stately 
sycamore, which has since been removed. 

Clement De Wolf first saw the light of day in Pennsylvania. 
Here he grew to manhood. Here he was educated, and here 
it was that he met and married Nancy Kasson, one of the 
noblest women that ever lived. Shortly after their marriage 
the young couple started west, their objective point being 
Johnstown, Licking Co., Ohio. Here, in the forest village and 
in the nearby settlements, the subject of our sketch put to good 
use the then liberal education he had received in the east. 

After a few years devoted to teaching in and around Johns- 
town, Clement De Wolf and his family made their way through 
the almost unbroken wilderness to Meigs County, taking up 
their abode in a log cabin on Shade River in Orange Township. 



76 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Here he was again speedily employed at teaching, his greatest 
and best service being performed at Chester, then the county 
seat, only three or four miles away. 

It was at the county seat that he gained local fame, not 
only as a teacher of the common and higher branches of learn- 
ing, but as an expert accountant within the various offices of 
the courthouse. He was never elected to any of these offices, 
but he was called upon to straighten out many an intricate 
mathematical tangle. Not only did he gain distinction here as 
a well-informed man and scholar, but his reputation as a stump 
speaker and orator extended into the adjoining counties. Some 
of his speeches were reported for the public press and are said 
to have been fine examples of argumentative and rhetorical skill. 
He was a ready and fluent speaker and bore the reputation of 
having been one of the best of his day. 

From Chester he removed to Racine, a little village on the 
Ohio River only ten miles away. He taught here for a time, . 
and sustained the enviable record he had made at the places 
mentioned above. Just when he moved to Racine and how 
long he taught there, are not known; but he kept steadily at 
the work till death cut him down in the very prime of life, 
leaving a heart-broken widow and seven dependent children 
to engage in what proved to be for each a very arduous struggle 
of life. 

It is said that Clement's thirst for knowledge made him the 
creature of many embarrassing circumstances. Books were 
very scarce in those days, newspapers more so, well-read men 
rare. On one occasion Clement was sent by the good wife of 
the house in a great hurry to borrow a set of quilting frames. 
It was in the evening' time, and Clement was admonished to 
make haste, as Mrs. De Wolf was very anxious to get her quilt 
in that evening so as to be in readiness to begin work early in 
the morning. Clement promised, went straightway to the 
house of his well-informed neighbor, with whom he was soon 
engaged in discussing the current topics of the day. The 
good wife waited in impatience. Time wore on, midnight 
came, then two o'clock in the morning, and still no Clement. 
Finally Mrs. De Wolf, thinking that sickness or accident might 
have befallen her husband, donned bonnet and shawl and 
made her way through the woods to the neighbor's habitation. 
Opening the door she found her husband engaged in a spirited 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 77 

conversation, his mission forgotten and the advanced hour of 
the night having never entered his mind. This example serves 
to illustrate a multitude of similar ones with which he was 
embarrassed at various times in his life. 

As a thinker and a scholar, he was one of the most advanced 
of his day. He was a good citizen, an honorable upright man. 
He transmitted to his children the sterling qualities of his 
manhood, and by them his virtues have been well perpetuated 
to the present day. 

His was a noble strain. May its luster remain undimmed 
through all the ages yet to come! 

Mrs. Nancy Kasson De Wolf, who had at the age of nine- 
teen become the wife of Clement De Wolf, after the death of 
her husband, consented to become housekeeper for Moses 
Clark, a most estimable gentleman who had but recently lost 
his wife by death, near Johnstown, in Licking County. 

A little wagon, into which were loaded the mother, the 
three youngest children — Calvin, Samuel and Betsey, and a few 
necessary belongings, was soon on its way over the hundred 
miles through an almost unbroken forest, the wagon being 
drawn by a poor three-year-old colt, driven by the second son, 
Daniel. 

Mrs. De Wolf and her three children found at Moses Clark's 
a most comfortable home. Mr. Clark was one of Nature's 
noblemen. He owned a large and highly productive farm, 
and was in every way a good provider. Mrs. De Wolf remained 
with Mr. Clark till his death, for nineteen years having enjoyed 
his kindly hospitality. Then, with her daughter Betsey, she 
returned to Meigs County, and became mistress of a home of 
her own at Syracuse on the Ohio river. Here, within a stone's 
throw of her two sons. Captains Sam and Dan, she lived in the 
enjoyment of peace and plenty till she sank into the dreamless 
sleep of death, April 6, 1870. 

' Aunt Nancy ' was one of the grandly good pioneer 
mothers. She was a woman of strong mind, warmly sympa- 
thetic heart, the soul of industry, and did her full part in pav- 
ing the way for a higher civilization. As woman, wife and 
mother she never fell short of her full measure of duty. She 
died without guile, and her good works do follow her." 

Was there a strain of Corsair blood in the remote ancestry 
of the De Wolfs, or descent from some famous old Viking of

the North that asserted itself in successive generations? This 
family, far in the interior, far from the tempestuous seas that 
their Eastern cousins loved to plough and conquer, sought 
adventures upon the quieter but no less treacherous waters of 
the Ohio river, and found their experience hardly less thrill- 
ing. Articles of the Ponieroy Leader are before the writer ; 
one entitled " Rough and Tumble of River Life," and the other 
'•A Venerable River Captain," sketching respectively the lives 
of "Captain Dan" and "Captain Sam," as the brothers were 
familiarly known ; the second and youngest sons of Clement 
De Wolf. Captain Dan made his debut as a steamboat man 
upon the Condor No.j. Next he became at once captain and 
pilot of the Crescent. This steamer was captured by Grant to 
tow a gunboat up the Cumberland to Fort Donelson. On his 
arrival at the fort he was made pilot of the Ohio, dispatched 
on some secret and important mission to Cincinnati. On his 
release and return to the command of the Crescent, he was 
ordered up the Cumberland with Union forces. After employ- 
ment on several steamers, he and his brother Sam entered the 
company which purchased the Raven, as ill-fated as the "grim, 
ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore." 

Sam De Wolf, in the meantime, after a short experience in 
running a sawmill in 1846, on Old Tom Creek, in Lebanon 
Township, with his brother Calvin, had spent five or six years 
in learning the river in "flat-boating;" then he became a 
pilot, and entered the "ill-starred Ohio River Transportation 
Company." He now was placed in command of the Raven, his 
nephew Dor at the wheel. "The last trip of the Raven was 
commenced with ominous forebodings. After picking up her 
tow she proceeded to Antiquity for coal, partially filled with 
water, came near sinking, and was only saved by cutting holes 
through the deck." At the mouth of the Big Kanawha, a big 
coal lamp exploded, and the vessel narrowly escaped burning. 
Four miles above Plymouth the boat encountered a terrific 
wind storm and came near sinking. A little above Cincinnati, 
April 15, 1870, about midnight Captain Sam was informed the 
boilers were leaking, and while examining them the boilers 
exploded. He was blown into the fuel-boat, almost buried 
beneath the debris, his right arm broken, and was badly 
burned. Pilot Dan De Wolf and engineer Martin were soon 
at work to liberate the captain. As the captain came to his 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 79 

senses and realized the situation, he said : " Do not mind me, 
take care of yourself." He was saved just in time as the Rave^t 
sank ; but the mate, John Calvin De Wolf, son of Captain Dan, 
familiarly known as "Tap," was never more heard of. 

The Sa7n Roberts^ another of the company's boats blew up 
at Guyon, on Aug. 7, 1874, when Captain Dan who commanded 
her was badly hurt about the back, three of her crew were 
killed and seven wounded. Still another of the company's 
boats, the Petrel, Captain Sam in command and Dan De Wolf 
at the wheel "will long be remembered for its having filled 
with water and turning over. The boat floated along, drift- 
ing as far as Ceredo and continued to roll from side to side, 
the crew clambering about for the highest part to keep from 
drowning until they were taken ashore in a skiff. As a climax 
to all their disasters came the collapse of the company, through 
the rascality of its smooth-tongued "promoter" and comfort- 
able fortunes which the brothers, starting as poor boys, had by 
hard toil laid by, were swept away in a day. Captain Dan still 
retained possession of a comfortable brick residence at the 
lower end of Syracuse, Ohio; but this home, costing probably 
ten or twelve thousand dollars, took fire one day and burned 
to the ground, and not one cent of insurance! This left the 
old Captain homeless; but his brother Sam surrendered to him 
his own snug quarters nearby and moved to Racine. In this 
home, supplied by his brother's generosity, the old Captain 
passed away at the age of eighty, "an honest, upright citizen," 
says the notice of his death, "an obliging neighbor, a fast 
friend, a man of solid and irreproachable character." 

"Captain Dan had many thrillmg and dangerous experi- 
ences due to fog, storm, darkness and wind ; but he went through 
it all without a visible sign of emotion or excitement. His 
brother Sam says he was the coolest, the most deliberate and 
the best flat-boat pilot he ever saw. Of Captain Sam, The 
Pomery Leader says: "His has been an honorable upright life. 
He has pronounced ideas of right and wrong, and what he 
undertakes he does with his whole soul and will. He has 
always been liberal to the poor and has gladdened thousands 
of hearts by word and deed. As a citizen, a neighbor and a 
friend, he is of the best, and the world has been made happier 
and better by his having lived in it." 

That these sterling qualities were family traits appear from 



8o HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

a notice of the death of the Captain's sister Lydia, Mrs. Smith, 
who lived to be nearly eighty years of age. " Possessed of a 
strong physical organism, tireless energy, dauntless courage 
and indomitable will, she was w'ell equipped by nature to 
endure the toils, privations and hardships of pioneer life. The 
mere announcement that a neighbor languished on a bed of 
pain was to her a signal call. Through blinding storm, wither- 
ing heat, piercing cold, through the howling wind-storm of 
night, when falling limbs from swaying forest trees made 
courageous men hesitate and grow faint at heart, this fearless 
mother, guided by only the flickering and uncertain rays of a 
lantern, found her way at all hours of the night to the sick and 
suffering of many a humble cabin. She thought not of herself: 
she lived for others. It was her ambition to carry comfort and 
scatter sunshine wherever she went." 

Upon the death of Clement De Wolf the care of the family 
devolved upon the eldest son, John, then a lad of fifteen. Of 
him Mr. Smith writes : 

"With stout heart and willing hands this faithful son 
assumed his new-found responsibility. Opportunities were 
few and wages low, but this noble boy — father at once and son, 
labored hard wherever employment could be had, all his mea- 
gre earnings going to the support of his widowed mother and 
the family. His self-sacrificing efforts were continued until 
the mother was persuaded to become housekeeper for Moses 
Clark, of Licking County, Ohio, whose wife had taken sick 
and died. 

John remained industriously at work in Meigs County, 
saved his wages, and was soon able to buy a small farm in 
Lebanon Township. Shortly afterwards he married Harriet 
Smith, of Athens County, and went to housekeeping. Later 
he sold his little Meigs County farm, and bought another near 
Coolville, in Athens County, on which he quietly ended his days. 

When his brothers, Sam and Dan, bought their first steam- 
boat, the Hunter, Sam did not forget his brother John's 
devoted efforts for their mother and her family ; so John was 
made watchman, a lucrative position which he filled most 
perfectly on one or the other of the De Wolf steamboats as 
long as he wanted it. 

Of John De Wolf it may truly be said that never did he do 
a dishonorable deed. His word was his bond. His great big

sympathetic heart was as tender as a child's. As a boy, as a 
man, he was a credit to himself, an unsullied honor to his illus- 
trious line. Forever sweet will be the memory of Uncle 
John ! " 

Calvin, the third son, who on the 29th of Nov., 1848, was 
married to Eliza Jane Seeley by Henry Lawrence, Justice of 
the Peace, had several children, five of whom are living, the 
eldest of whom, Clark, has already been mentioned as the first 
of his family discovered by the writer. 

Like most men of his time, Calvin had a limited education. 
But being possessed of a bright mind, he read law and was 
elected four terms as Justice of the Peace of Lebanon Town- 
ship. Though never admitted to the bar, he was a noted petti- 
fogger, and usually put to rout the best attorneys that were 
ever pitted against him. Lack of opportunity alone prevented 
him from winning marked distinction in the legal profession. 
He was five times elected Assessor of his township, and was, in 
many ways, one of the foremost men of his county. 

He was a good neighbor, a true friend, and indulgent father. 
He died Feb. 26, 1884. 

Of the daughters, Betsey, the twin sister of Captain Sam, is 
the only child still living, unmarried, enjoying " fair health and 
the exercise of all her faculties, a good woman — at the age of 
seventy-seven." Polly who became Mrs. George Webster, had 
several children, two of whom are now living, Don D. of Port- 
land, O., and Mrs. Louise Mooney of Middleport, O. 

Of Mrs. Smith, the mother of our correspondent, some 
account has been already given. 

So ends the record of the elder branch of the family of 
Charles De Wolf of Guadaloupe, the descendants of his son 
Simon. 

If few attained the great wealth that distinguished some of 
their Rhode Island cousins, their history bears witness to the 
same industry and determination that has been characteristic 
of most of the race, — qualities which added to native ability 
and favorable circumstances in a wider field have conspired to 
make them leaders of men. 



CHAPTER III. 



ORIGIN OF THE AMERICAN DE WOLFS, THE NOVA SCOTIA DE 

WOLFS AND OTHER BRANCHES OF THE FAMILY NOT 

DESCENDED FROM CHARLES OF GUADALOUPE. 



TNDUSTRIOUSLY, but thus far unsuccessfully, have the 
-■- family genealogists sought the link to connect the De 
Wolfs of America with the noble family of that name, for cen- 
turies prominent in many countries of Europe. It will appear 
from the following tables sufficiently evident that all the lines 
which form the subject of this book descend from Balthasar and 
Alice De Wolf, first appearing in authentic records about 1665. 
To the labors of Mrs. Salisbury the family owes the establishment 
of the relationship of Charles De Wolf of Guadaloupe to his 
American ancestors and of the relationship existing between 
the descendants of Simon and Mark Anthony. But however 
obscure to recent generations had these facts become, it will be 
seen from the intercourse and correspondence of the Hon. Ben- 
jamin De Wolf of Windsor, Nova Scotia, with the Hon. James 
De Wolf of Bristol, R. I., from relations of Simon's grandsons 
and their Rhode Island cousins, and other facts related in these 
pages, that the relationships of the several lines and their start- 
ing point at Lyme, Conn., were well known to our great-grand- 
fathers. "Only three others of the name of De Wolf," says 
the noble work of Professor and Mrs. Edward Salisbury, "have 
been discovered as living in America as early or earlier than 
Balthasar De Wolf— all three living in New Amsterdam: the 
first, Abel De Wolf, receiving a license for mining in the 
Catskill Mountains in 1659, Abraham De Wolf of whom nothing 
is known further than that he was in New Amsterdam in 
166 1, and thirdly. Dirk De Wolf, who obtained exclusive priv- 
ilege for making salt in New Netherlands in 1661. Abel De 
Wolf seems to have been associated with Dirk, but the three 
seem to have returned to Holland, leaving no descendants in

this country. No relationship or association between them 
and Balthasar has been discovered." But this Balthasar, this 
trunk from which the multi-branched family tree has grown, 
till it penetrates with its vigorous and persistent growth the his- 
tory of every land— who was he ? Whence came he ? Who were 
his'ancestors? The answers to these questions have been sought 
in vain. Curious have been the conjectures. He has been made 
a French Huguenot fleeing from persecution— a Russian— a 
Protestant refugee from Holland— even a Jew. It were, per- 
haps, easiest to pronounce with Mrs. Salisbury (in a recent letter) 
the pretentions of the Rhode Island De Wolf to noble Euro- 
pean lineage as groundless. But this " short and easy method " 
does not seem altogether scientific. Undoubtedly no positive 
proof oi\i\^ relationship to the well-known European family 
has ever been adduced. But strong circumstantial and cum- 
ulative evidence is not lacking, and it must be remembered 
that with all the theories of Balthasar's descent— Russian, 
French, Dutch and Jewish— no one has ventured to suggest he 
was of the American Aborigines, so European descent of some 
kind he must have had. Now the origin of the name de Wolf 
as given to the nobleman, Louis de Saint Etienne, is a matter 
of historical record— the noble families of Europe of the name 
all trace by authentic records descent from this stock. There 
is no reason to suppose that anyone has ventured to asssume 
the name without the right to it. The interesting studies of 
Dr. J. R. De Wolf and others, noting the frequent use of names 
of many animals, including the wolf, for surnames, as in the 
Guelphs, ingenious and interesting as they are, seem to 
have no special bearing upon this particular question. The 
very definite form De Wolf, certainly in this country is quite 
distinct from the much more common name, Wolf or Wolff— 
which, as Dr. De Wolf points out, is frequently Jewish. 

In a country whose earlier settlers were many of them sons 
of titled families in search of adventure, seeking to retrieve 
ruined fortunes, or fleeing from political or religious persecu- 
tion, is it not more probable that one of the well-known Euro- 
pean family should have found his way to America, than that 
the name should have been self-assumed or derived from some 
utterly unknown source and suddenly have "grown" like 
Topsy ? This argument from probability would seem greatly 
strengthened by the interesting discovery of the writer of our 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 85 

preface that the Livonian De Wolfs have a traditon of one of 
their family leaving for America about the same period that 
Balthasar appears in Connecticut. Even so careful and unpreju- 
diced a witness as Mrs. Salisbury finds something inexplicable 
in the family which causes it at once to make alliances with 
the most influential and exclusive families of the new world. 
The resemblance in feature and character of the De Wolfs of 
Europe to those in America has been noticed by more than 
one. Mr. Frank E. De Wolf at a distinguished assembly in 
Europe, pointed out to his wife among the guests, a gentleman 
of whom he had absolutely no knowledge, remarking the 
striking resemblance in feature and bearing to one of his 
family in Rhode Island. A little later on being presented to 
him, he learned that he was a Count De Wolf, a prominent 
courtier. These facts together with the persistent tradition in 
the De Wolf family of the origin of their name, of their relation 
to European families of the same name, and of the origin of 
the crest or coat-of-arms which, with slight variations, appear 
in connection with all the branches of the family in Europe, 
certainly make the identity of the American with the European 
family more than probable. If Balthasar fled to the wilderness 
of America for any religious, political or family reason, he 
may have had cause to conceal his national origin or his rank 
beneath a veil of mystery so dense that his descendants have 
been unable to lift it, as did, according to his biographers, that 
Dr. Francis Le Baron, with whose descendants the De Wolfs 
were in later years to be bound by marriage. 

All this is at least of genealogical and antiquarian interest, 
however much we may feel that it matters little in a Repub- 
lican land what titles of nobility decorated the names of our 
ancestors. But to those who accept recent theories advanced 
by high authorities as to heredity, such questions do not lack 
interest when ancient titles are founded on deeds of valor. 
Even a cursory examination of the De Wolf portraits in these 
pages will reveal a strong family likeness in even quite remote 
lines. The fact indicates family characteristics which appear 
in so many records of their lives. To learn that these charac- 
teristics may be traced back still further through many centu- 
ries cannot be without interest, and should not be without 
inspiration to live lives worthy of our forebears. The chief 
gain in tracing our descent from knights of old and heroes of 



86 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

the past, should be a certain noblesse oblige — a determination 
that our lives shall not lower the standard that our race hath 
raised. "A people," says Lord Macauley, "which takes no 
pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors, will 
never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride 
by remote descendants." 

Of Balthasar the first trace is in the records of "A Perticu- 
lar Court in Hartford," March 5th, 1656, when among the 
"names of those p''sented for smoaking in the streets contra to 
the law," appears the name of "Baltazer de Woolfe." For this 
he was fined. "Tradition has it," says Mr. John M. Dolph, 
"that he paid his fine, lighted his pipe and went out." This 
introduction of their first known ancestor on the stage of 
American life, will be recognized with a smile by many a 
De Wolf reader as sufficiently characteristic of a race not 
always submissive to restraints which did not approve them- 
selves to their own convictions, yet bearing the consequences 
of their own independence or even recklessness with an easy 
good-natured philosophy. There may be a hint, too, of that 
lack of sympathy with Puritan restrictions, natural to a for- 
eigner of aristocratic birth, such as the author of the " Name- 
less Nobleman" so well portrays in Dr. Le Baron's "Treaty 
Offensive and Defensive," with Major Bradford and his fellow 
selectmen. 

The second mention connects him with the superstitions of 
the day, for September 5th, 1661, Nicholas and Margaret Jen- 
nings of "Sea Brook" are indicted "for not haveing the feare 
of God before their eyes," "having entertained familiarity with 
Satan, the great enemy of God and mankind, and by his help 
done works above the course of nature, ye loss of y*^ lives of 
severall p'sons, in p'ticuler ye wife of Reynolds Marvin wi'*" 
ye child of Baalshar de Wolf wi'^ other soceries; " the child is 
spoken of as "bewitched to death." 

Balthasar de Wolf, in Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary," 
is mentioned (first) in Wethersfield, Conn., 1664. In 1668 he 
and his three sons; Edward, Simon and Stephen, are men- 
tioned in the records of Lyme as members of the train-band. 
He probably therefore lived from 1661 (or earlier) in East 
Saybrooke, which in 1664-5 was set oif as the separate town of 
Lyme. "The fact that Stephen was in the militia," says Mr. 
J. M. Dolph, "shows that he was at that time at least sixteen 




THE GRAVE OF EDWARD DE WOLF, 

Oldest Son of Balthasak de Wolf, 

AT Lyme, Conn. 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 87 

years old." " So we may properly suppose that Balthasar was 
about forty-eight, and his son, as we know by the dates on his 
tombstone still existing at Lyme, was twenty-two, and Simon 
and Stephen between sixteen and twenty." "That he was 
English," adds the same writer, "appears from his penman- 
ship, which is clearly that used by educated Englishmen, and 
from the family names which are English." On the other hand, 
the unusual name "Balthasar" does not sound English even in 
that day of strange names. The author does not remember 
meeting it excepting as recently prominent in the Pan Ameri- 
can Convention. In that case, it is probably of Spanish origin. 
The attempts of the court to record his name, perhaps from 
his own pronunciation of it ; " Baltazar de Woolfe " and " Baal- 
shar de Wolf," point to at least broken English. 

While the early De Wolfs do not seem to have been large 
landed proprietors, notices of sales and bequests show they 
possessed a good landed estate. 

Edward, the eldest son of Balthazar, the ancestor of the 
branches of the family traced in this work, was a man of prop- 
erty, like his father living in Lyme, and highly respected. 
He was not only a carpenter, but a millwright, the builder and 
operator of two saw-mills, and a grist-mill. "That his high 
standing, integrity and good judgment," says Mr. Dolph, 
were well-known, is proven by the fact that in 1682, after long 
delays and difficulties between the people of New London and 
their contractors for building their new church, Edward de 
Wolf, of Lyme, and John Frinck, of Stonington, were called 
upon to go to New London and arbitrate between the builders 
and the people. It is recorded in the Lyme record that in 
May, 1686, the town of Lyme laid out to Edward De Wolf 
twenty-two acres of land on account of his work for the town 
in the matter of the new meeting house. In 1688, Edward 
settled upon the Eight Mile River, and in the same year liberty 
was granted to him to build a grist-mill. He subsequently 
built a second saw-mill near his home on the Eight Mile River. 
He lived near one of his mill sites, near the village of Lays- 
ville." "There was some condition or quality, either in 
education, character, family, respect, ability, personal attrac- 
tions or other 'unknown quantity' which enabled them to 
marry into some of the best families in Lyme and the 
neighboring towns." (Salisbury work). Such families were 



88 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

the Lees ; Lieutenant Thomas Lee marrying Mary, daughter 
of Balthazar de Wolf ; the Griswolds, Matthew Griswold, who 
became the second husband of Mary, being "the largest land- 
owner and most leading man in Lyme;" the Douglas family 
of New London ; the Lays, Mathers, Calkins, Watermans, etc. 

"As the tree is known by its fruit, we are left to draw our 
chief inferences in regard to the traits of mind and character 
of Balthazar De Wolf and his children from what we can learn 
of their descendants. Never rich, the divisions and sub- 
divisions of their lands among successive generations, would 
soon have made them poor. But it does not appear that any 
of them waited for that fate. Very few graves of the earlier 
generations can be found, and nearly all their descendants, in 
all the generations, went away from Lyme. There must have 
been an early energy and ambition in the family which carried 
them away from their birthplace, in search of adventure or to 
better their fortunes. 

In Lyme, vessels were built which went out to many mar- 
kets, chiefly to the West Indies, and brought back cargoes to 
its wharves. Probably by these means Charles De Wolf made 
his 'venture' to the island of Guadaloupe, where he finally 
married, and prospering, became the founder of the wealthy 
and distinquished Rhode Island family of De Wolf." {Family 
Histories, by Prof, and Mrs. Salisbury. Vol. II, p. 135). 

The love of the sea and West Indian trade, which made the 
De Wolfs the great merchants of Bristol, R. I., seem therefore 
to have been inherited tastes and abilities from earlier ances- 
tors. The same characteristics, whether personal or physical, 
seem to be strongly marked in all the race. 

The late Dr. J. Ratchford De Wolf, of Halifax, in his contri- 
bution to the Salisbury Family Histories, says: "The American 
De Wolfs, whether of New England or Canada, are noted for 
their habits of enterprise and industry, their love of change 
and adventure, their freedom from ostentation, their domestic 
virtues and their numerous progeny ; as also for their healthi- 
ness, and the frequent instances of longevity among them." 
Of the family of Mark Anthony De Wolf, the common ancestor 
of the Bristol De Wolfs, the late Dr. John De Wolf, of Provi- 
dence, R. I., also writes for the above volumes : " His wife is 
said to have been a woman of noble character. Most of the 
children, eight sons and five daughters, grew to be men and 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 89 

women, and as a rule were distinguished for the elegance of 
their manners and great beauty of person. 

"Among the members of the family who were thus," as 
Mrs. Salisbury writes, "carried away from their birthplace in 
search of adventure or to better their fortunes," were three 
cousins, Nathan, Simeon and Jehiel De Wolf, who followed 
twelve months later, the exodus of about two hundred emi- 
grants who in 1760 went from Connecticut to repeople Acadia; 
to settle in Nova Scotia, whence the French peasants had gone 
forth in exile. 

In "the old Acadian country 

where all were equal and all were brothers and sisters," 

where 

"The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, 
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in 
the twilight, 
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic." 

Three cousins settled, and became progenitors of a numer- 
ous and influential branch of the De Wolf family. Of this fill- 
ing of the places left vacant by Evangeline and her people by 
the sturdy New Englanders, the Rev. Arthur H. Wentworth 
Eaton, a descendant of Jehiel De Wolf, the emigrant to Nova 
Scotia, has written in touching words in one of the many 
Acadian ballads and poems of which he is the author. 

Five years in desolation the Acadian land had lain, 
Five golden harvest moons had wooed the fallow fields in vain. 
Five times the winter snows caressed and summer sunsets smiled 
On lonely clumps of willows, and fruit trees growing wild. 



But the simple Norman peasant-folk shall till the land no more, 
For the vessels from Connecticut have anchored by the shore, 
And many a sturdy Puritan, his mind with Scripture stored, 
Rejoices he has found at last, "the garden of the Lord." 

There are families from Tolland, from Killingworth and Lyme, 
Gentle mothers, tender maidens and strong men in their prime. 
There are lovers who have plighted their vows in Coventry, 
And merry children dancing o'er the vessels' decks in glee. 



They come as Puritans, but who shall say their hearts are blind 
To the subtle charms of nature, and the love of human-kind ? 



90 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

The blue laws of Connecticut have shaped their thought, 'tis true, 
But human laws can never wholly Heaven's work undo. 



And where the Acadian village stood, its roofs o'ergrown with moss. 
And the simple wooden chapel, with its altar and its cross ; 
And where the forge of Basil sent its sparks toward the sky, 
The lonely thistle blossomed, and the fare weed grew high. 



The broken dykes have been rebuilt, a century and more, 
The cornfields stretch their furrows from Canard to Beau Sejour; 
Five generations have been reared beside the fair Grand Pre, 
Since the vessels from Connecticut came sailing up the Bay, 

And now across the meadows, while the farmers reap and sow. 
The engine shrieks its discord to the hills of Gaspereau ; 
And ever onward to the sea the restless Fundy tide 
Bears playful pleasure yachts and busy trade ships, side by side. 

And the Puritan has yielded to the softening touch of time. 
Like him who still content remained in Killingworth and Lyme; 
And graceful homes of prosperous men make all the landscape fair. 
And mellow creeds and ways of life are rooted everywhere. 

The writer first knew of the Nova Scotia De Wolfs in early 
youth, meeting one of them with his own father, James 
De Wolf Perry, at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 
1876. The writer's father remembered his grandfather. Captain 
James De Wolf, telling him of cousins of the name living in 
Canada. Seeing the name De Wolf in the Canadian concession 
at the Exposition in 1876, where was exhibited a very beautiful 
line of carriages and other vehicles, he proposed introducing 
himself and the writer to the fine looking gentleman who was in 
charge. He proved to be Mr. John M. De Wolf, of Halifax, 
N. S., who is still living, and whose son, Mr. Frederick T. 
De Wolf, now carries on the business of carriage manufacture. 
Mr. De Wolf told Mr. Perry that he too had known of relation- 
ship with " De Wolf in the States." Neither of them, however, 
could furnish more definite knowledge of the connection. It 
was only after his father's death that the writer obtained from 
an old letter, preserved among the papers of his great-grand- 
father, James De Wolf, a clue to their relationship. This letter 
was written to James De Wolf by Mr. Benjamin De Wolf, of 
Windsor, Nova Scotia, after his return from a visit to Bristol. 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 91 

This visit must have been mutually enjoyable, as both men 
were influential legislators each in his own country, both men 
of intelligence, enterprise and wealth. The letter is given 
here as an agreeable and interesting link between the two 
branches of the family : 

Windsor, 30th Nov., 1818. 
"Cousin De Wolf; 

My Dear Sir: — 
According to my promise I take the liberty to acquaint you with myself 
and Daughter's safe arrival at Halifax, In Fifty-eight hours from Boston, 
where I met many of my Particular friends and relations, all of whom were 
overjoyed to see us safe returned. Be assured, my dear sir, the very Polite 
attention myself and Daughter received while under your Hospitable Roof 
at Bristol, and with your good Family at New York, has made a deep and 
lasting impression of Gratitude in our Hearts. I shall at all times esteem 
it a great mark of Friendship to hear from you and your good Family, all of 
whom have my Best wishes for their welfare. Pray offer my kind regards 
to your Brother Charles and Family. Likewise to your Brother William 
and family and to all your other brothers and relatives and to say to them I 
shall ever feel grateful for their kind civility to myself and Daughter while 
at Bristol. The day I left New York I reached at New Haven where I met 
with a great number of members of the House of assembly, some of whom 
1 made a very Particular Inquiry for the name of the De Wolfs at Lyme 
and elsewhere. But could not obtain any useful information that any of the 
old family of the De Wolfs were alive. Therefore I took a carriage at New 
Haven and returned by the way of Hartford to Boston where I met with our 
worthy Friends, George De Wolf, Esq., and Mrs. Charles De Wolf who we 
were much gratified to see. I hope ere long to have the Pleasure to see you 
and some of your Connections in Nova Scotia. In the meantime my self & 
Daughter unite with our affectionate Regards for your self, Mrs. De Wolf, 
your dear children at Bristol and at New York, all of whom I Pray God to 
Bless. 

Truly Yours, 

Benjm. De Wolf." 

Concerning this visit, Dr. James Ratchford De Wolf writes 
of the daughter of the writer referred to in the above letter: 
"In all probability it was his youngest daughter Isabella 
Amelia, who in 1821 married Capt. McKay, a British officer. 
When, in 1836-8, I was a student at Windsor, she was a widow. 
She gave me a gold seal (large and plain) at parting which I 
still possess. Her nephew, Dr. B. De Wolf Fraser, who was 
very deaf, was struck by a Railway train and killed several 
years ago. I knew him intimately." Mrs. Middleton, the 
granddaughter of Hon. William De Wolf of Bristol, mentioned 



92 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

in the above letter, remembers many anecdotes told by her 
grandfather of Jehial De Wolf, Jr. Many incidents of the visit of 
Hon. Benjamin De Wolf of Connecticut and of cousins, one of 
whom became later Mrs. Bartlett of New York (Appendix A), 
are remembered by Mrs. Middleton. Benjamin De Wolf, whose 
letter has been given, was the founder of the Windsor branch 
of the family. He was one of the most successful men of 
Hants Co., Nova Scotia, owned a tract of about eight thousand 
acres of land, and with one exception, was the highest taxpayer 
in Windsor. He was for many years High Sheriff of Hants 
Co., Member of Parliament 1785-9, and in the latter year 
appointed Justice of the Peace. He married the daughter of 
Dr. Ephraim Otis. His wife's sister Susannah was the wife of 
William Haliburton of Windsor, the father of Judge William 
Hay Otis Haliburton. Benjamin De Wolf, not believing in 
slavery, emancipated all his slaves who, however, chose to 
remain in his service. 

By the emigration from Connecticut was settled the town- 
ship of Horton, N. S. "One of the most attractive spots in 
Horton, near the mouth of the Cornwallis River," says an 
article in the Acadian Orchardist, May 15, 1900, by Dr. James 
R. De Wolf, " was the home of the most prominent members of 
the new community and was known as Mud Creek — the centre 
of the village was 'Mud Bridge.' In 1829, it is learned from 
the same article, this name having become highly obnoxious to 
the inhabitants, two young ladies, granddaughters of Judge 
Elisha De Wolf, with the aid of their uncle, postmaster of the 
place, succeeded in having the name changed to Wolfville. 
The name was accepted as appropriate from the former influ- 
ence of the De Wolfs as well as the number still residing 
there. Judge De Wolf had entertained in his mansion, " Kent 
Lodge," celebrated for its unbounded hospitality. His Royal 
Highness the Duke of Kent, when on his way from Halifax to 
Annapolis. At the time of its re-christening resided there: 
Daniel De Wolf, M. P., Andrew Dwight De Wolf, Joseph De 
Wolf, with his hat factory where St. John's Directory now 
stands, Hon. Thomas A. S. De Wolf, M. P. and his elder brother 
William, Elisha De Wolf, Jr., M. P., Charles, Oliver, Robert, 
John Starr and Thomas L. De Wolf. 

To the author of above article, Dr. James Ratchford De 
Wolf, the writer is indebted for a great portion of valuable

information and for such an amount of personal sympathy 
and encouragement in his work, that although the acquaintance 
was only by letter, it made the news of his recent death at the 
ripe age of eighty-two, come with a sense of deep personal loss 
and sorrow. He was the most indefatigable genealogist of the 
De Wolf family. He also furnished many valuable contribu- 
tions to the great work of Professor and Mrs. Salisbury. " For 
the past fifty years," he writes, "I have been a student of our 
family history, and I yield to no one in the deep interest I take 
in the name and in all that is connected with its origin and 
dissemination. I have collected and arranged some five hun- 
dred or more names of the De Wolfs of Nova Scotia and as 
many more of affiliated families connected with ours by mar- 
riage. I have it carefully indexed." It should be a matter of 
deep regret that Dr. De Wolf did not find sufficient encourage- 
ment to warrant his publishing this valuable collection dur- 
ing his life time, but it is to be hoped that the work, now 
possessed by his daughter, Mrs. Harrington, will yet be put in 
such form as to be a permanent monument to the good doctor's 
industry and learning. 

Dr. James Ratchford De Wolf was the grandson of Judge 
Elisha and the great-grandson of Nathan De Wolf, one of the 
three emigrants to Nova Scotia. It was to Mr. Frederick T. 
De Wolf, son of John M. De Wolf, whom Mr. James De Wolf 
Perry met at the Philadelphia Centennial, that the writer ow^ed 
his introduction to Dr. De Wolf. 

Dr. De Wolf was the son of Hon. T. A. S. De Wolf of Lord 
Falkland's administration. He was graduated at Edinburg 
University, was a member of the Medical Society of Paris, and 
of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburg. In 1857, Dr. De 
Wolf became Superintendent of the Halifax Hospital for the 
Insane. He revolutionized the whole system he found there. 
"The whole treatment instituted by Dr. De Wolf was embraced 
in a single idea — humanity, the law of kindness, the desire to 
relieve from suffering." A notice of his death says of Dr. De 
Wolf: "His amiability of character, his solicitude for the wel- 
fare of those who came within the circle of his acquaintance — 
in a word, his sterling attributes of heart and hand are known 
of all men." 

The youngest son of Hon. T. A. S. De Wolf was the late 
Charles Frederic De Wolf, whose portrait appears in our pages. 



94 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

He was as prominent in business circles as his older brother 
in the medical profession. Becoming a partner with his father 
in the well-known commission and shipping firm, T. A. S. De 
Wolf & Son, Agents for the Anchor Line, he became after his 
father's death the sole partner. He was prominent, says a 
notice of his death, m all projects for the prosperity of Halifax. 
" Charles De Wolf was a frank, manly, upright man, esteemed 
and respected by all who knew him." 

The De Wolfs in Canada, as will be seen in the tables, have 
become allied with families of greatest prominence in state and 
church. They are also well represented in England. Referr- 
ing to a notice sent the writer of the death of James Ratchford 
De Wolf of Brunswick St., Liverpool — ship-owner, and of Sal- 
acres, Upton near Birkenhead (v. Tables 53), Dr. De Wolf 
writes: "He was my first cousin and namesake, as well as 
school-fellow. Another James De Wolf boarded in the same 
house with us in 1828-30. There are several of our name in 
Liverpool — two in London and one in Wales — all descendants 
of our Nova Scotia family. One is a clergyman, Rev. Robert 
B. De Wolf, a graduate of Oxford, the others are engaged in 
business. These are all I believe who bear our name in Eng- 
land." 

Some of the Nova Scotia family have returned to the United 
States from which their forefathers emigrated. Among such 
descendants is found the writer's friend and correspondent, 
Rev. Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton of New York City — 
a great-great-grandson of Jehiel De Wolf, the youngest of the 
three emigrants to Nova Scotia in 1761. To Mr. Eaton we are 
indebted for much aid and the very great assistance of the loan 
of the volume of the Salisbury works, containing the notes and 
tables of the De Wolf family. 

Of the Nova Scotia De Wolfs, Mr. John Starr De Wolf went 
to Liverpool, England; somewhat later, in 1850 was joined by 
his brother, James Ratchford De Wolf. The son of the latter is 
the Rev. Robert De Wolf, a church of England clergyman. Of 
the children of John Starr De Wolf, Mr. George De Wolf has 
been the first, m 1881, to return to Canada, where at Vancouver, 
B. C, he is Warden of his Parish Church and a member of the 
Executive Committee of the Diocese of Westminister. His 
daughter. Miss Elsie De Wolf bids fair, after completing mus- 
ical studies in Germany, to become distinguished as a violinist. 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 



95 



The Canadian branch of the family has also, like the Rhode 
Island branch, a talented representative on the stage — another 
and well-known Miss Elsie de Wolf, a daughter of the late Dr. 
Stephen de Wolf, who came from Nova Scotia to New York, 
where for many years he was a successful and most popular 
practitioner. 

Many have been the inquiries of De Wolfs from all parts of 
the country as to their early ancestors. Many have been the 
temptations to stray into interesting and wider fields than the 
self-imposed limits of this work. To trace all the descend- 
ants of Balthasar de Wolf, even were it possible, would require 
many volumes. Only twice has the author permitted himself 
in the preparation of the tables of descent of the De Wolf 
families subsequent to the time of Charles D'Wolf of Guad- 
aloupe to be led away from his purpose — first, in supplementing 
this chapter on the Canadian De Wolfs with an appendix trac- 
ing, though necessarily in a very abbreviated imperfect manner, 
some of the lines of descent of each of the three emigrants of 
Nova Scotia, the interesting intercourse with the Rhode Island 
De Wolfs in the earlier generations, the celebrity of many of 
the descendants, the author's pleasure in acquaintance and 
correspondence with Dr. De Wolf, Mr. Fred. De Wolf of 
Halifax, Rev. Mr. Eaton, Mr. Pingree, Rev. Charles H. De 
Wolf and others of this branch, and the aid and sympathy they 
had given him in his work, are sul^cient reasons, if any need be 
urged, for adding so interesting a feature to this volume. The 
second yielding to temptation resulted from finding among his 
correspondents, two who were descended respectively from the 
oldest and the youngest of the brothers of Charles of Guad- 
aloupe — the only two of his brothers who, so far as the writer 
can learn, are known to have left descendants. To do more 
than devote a brief appendix to these branches would have 
been beyond the scope of the present work. Each of the 
branches, however, claimed special interest. In the first, the 
writer's faithful co-laborer, Mr. Oratio J. De Wolf of Coraopolis, 
Pa., has cleverly, and it would seem successfully, refuted a 
formerly accepted theory of descent. If space has permitted 
only an abbreviated genealogy in this line, it is the less to be 
regretted, since Mr. De Wolf has just issued a more extended 
genealogy of the male descendants of Matthew De Wolf. We 
add a sketch which he has kindly furnished us of his ancestor, 



96 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Joseph De Wolf of Granby, the grandson of Matthew of 
Bolton. 

"Joseph De Wolf, son of Peter and Sarah (Couch) De Wolf, 
was born in Granby, Conn., Aug. 25, 1761. At fourteen years 
of age he enlisted in the Revolutionary forces. Tradition has 
it that his mother followed him to camp with a switch, but, 
finding herself unequal to the task, secured the services of his 
uncle to give the young patriot a switching. However this 
may be, it is certain that the castigation (if he got one) did not 
cool his patriotic ardor, for he served throughout the struggle, 
by virtue of which service, in 1832, he was granted a pension 
of eighty-three dollars per annum during his natural life. 
'A Revolutionary Soldier,' is the honorable inscription on his 
tombstone in the old cemetery at Vernon, Ohio. He was 
married Oct. 12, 1780, to Sarah Gibbons, daughter of Peter and 
Sarah (Green) Gibbons of Granville, Mass., born May 5, 1764. 
In the spring of 1799 ^^ went (in advance of his family) to 
northeastern Ohio, purchasing a tract of land from the Con- 
necticut Land Co., in what is now Vernon Township, Trumbull 
Co., his being one of the first three cabins erected within the 
confines of the township. In the following year his family 
consisting of wife and ten children (the youngest a babe of 
one year) joined him, making the trip in company with other 
emigrants. The route lay through Pittsburgh, down the Ohio 
River to Beaver, from whence the emigrants were obliged to 
cut a road through an unbroken forest. The means of trans- 
portation afforded the family was an ox wagon; on the way 
one of the oxen died, and a cow that had been brought along 
for milk was yoked up to finish the journey. The subject of 
our sketch was commissioned a Justice of the Peace in 18 10, by 
Gov. Worthington, then Governor of the State, and was 
Treasurer of the first lodge of Masons instituted in Trumbull 
County. He died Aug. 15, 1846, and was followed to the 
' Great Unknown ' two years later by his faithful wife. They 
are buried side by side in the old cemetery at Vernon, Ohio." 

After this volume had gone to press, a sketch was received 
of another distinguished and interesting character of this same 
line of Matthew, Dr. Thaddeus Kingsley De Wolf of Chester, 
Mass. The sketch written by his daughter, Mrs. Sarah De 
Wolf Garnwell, which (with great regret is slightly abbreviated) 
follows: 




DR. THADDEUS KINGSLEY DE WOLF, 

Chester, Mass. 

Born 1801 ; Died 1890. 

Appendix B. (58). 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 97 

" The life of Dr. Thaddeus Kings! ey De Wolf, which extended 
over all the nineteenth century, 1801-1890, was interrupted by 
hardly an illness of thirty-six hours duration. On Sunday, 
Nov. 5, 1890, he fell asleep peacefully in his library chair as, in 
his own words, he would have wished, "ready and eager to 
pass on." He was born at Otis, Mass., May 18, 1801, son of 
Capt. James De Wolf of that town, and was named for his 
paternal aunt's husband, Thaddeus Kingsley, Esq., of Platts- 
burgh, N. Y. After having graduated from Castleton, Vt., he 
practised his profession a short time in Litchfield Co., Conn., 
then he moved to Chester, Mass., where he remained to the end 
of his life, though offered many honors in other places, among 
them a Professorship in the Medical School at Philadelphia. 

A man of strong character, he had sincere friends and warm 
enemies, but was respected of all. As a physician, it is doubt- 
ful if he had his superior in Western Massachusetts, and was 
frequently called into consultations with those "river-gods," 
Drs. Stone and Flint. He was extremely scrupulous in pro- 
fessional courtesy, but merciless in exposure of quakery. He 
graduated eleven medical students. He was especially kind 
and helpful to young men. The gentle vein of his character 
was also seen in his great love of children and fondness for 
animal pets. 

Devoted to his profession, he could yet excel in a political 
speech or Fourth of July Oration. His speech on receiving 
the banner for his town at the Whig Convention of 1844, was 
praised by both Choate and "Webster. In 1836, he was ap- 
pointed Justice of the Peace by Gov. Everett, which office he 
held till his death. He represented his town in the General 
Court, 1868, and was for thirty years postmaster. He excelled 
in anecdotes, and was never happier than entertaing guests at 
his own table. 

Dr. De Wolf was, at sixty, a man of remarkable personal 
presence with the air and style of an old French Seigneur 
As will be seen by the tables of the appendix, he has left 
descendants who have won distinction in both professional and 
business pursuits. 

The second line in Appendix B presents, conspiciously, the 
transition of the name from De Wolf to Dolph. In a recent 
letter to the writer (May 16, 1902), Mrs. Salisbury makes the 
interesting statement: "At one time the brother of Senator 



98 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Dolph refused to accept my assertion that he was a De Wolf 

and forbade me to say so in my book I was able to 

fully prove the connection." Since that time, great advance 
has been made in the study of this branch of the family, and 
the gradual modifications of the name, as may be seen from the 
interesting facts brought together at the Dolph Reunion at 
Kinsman, Ohio, especially in the essay of Prof. J. M. Dolph, the 
Senator's brother, freely quoted earlier in this chapter. The 
proceedings of this reunion should be put in permanent 

form. 

The writer's indebtedness to many members of the family 
for patience, forbearance and industry in furnishing the 
necessary information for these pages, has been frequently 
recognized in the course of this narrative. To mention all 
would add many pages. Mr. John Horton De Wolf, of Chicago, 
son of Dr. James De Wolf, of Vail, Iowa, has given inestima- 
ble aid in taking upon himself much of the labor of tracing 
out the members of the line of Simon, son of Charles, of Guad- 
aloupe. Mr. Lafayette Erastus De Wolf, of Nimble, Pa.; the 
Rev. Erastus De Wolf, and his sister-in-law; Mr. Clark 
De Wolf, and many others of the Simon De Wolf branch, have 
lightened the writer's labors in a portion of the work which 
presented the greatest difficulties. Almost every family of his 
nearer relatives in Rhode Island branches, has furnished^ a 
willing and enthusiastic cousin to aid him. To the State His- 
torian of New York the writer owes his knowledge of the sys- 
tem adopted in tabulating this work, while even so busy and 
distinguished men as the Secretary of State, his Theta Delta 
Chi brother, Hon. John Hay ; Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts; 
the Secretary of War, the Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Nova Scotia ; 
and others, have not withheld aid in his search. To such 
invaluable works as the Salisbury's Fafnily Histories, and Prof. 
Munroe's History of Bristol, obligations may have been suffi- 
ciently acknowledged where quoted, but not to my old school 
friend, Prof. Munroe himself for further help, nor to his wife, 
herself of the Le Baron line. To Mr. Le Baron Willard, Mr. 
Le Baron Bradford, and many others, in the matter of the 
appendices. His own cousin, Mrs. Josephine De Wolf Gardi- 
ner, has been the writer's constant co-laborer. While as he 
closed his task, he has not only the cheer of the presence, but 
much valuable assistance in the work of final revision, cor-

recting, indexing and copying, from his friend of many years, 
Mr. L. F. Sennett. 

Notwithstanding all these advantages, the writer is not so 
presumptious as to hope that the work will be found without 
errors or serious omissions. Others would undoubtedly have 
made more of the material, none could more earnestly have 
desired to give a truthful and impartial sketch of the family 
whose blood flows in his own veins. He has not recorded all 
the scandals, the failures, the shortcomings, that might be 
gathered in the annals of this as in every family. Yet he 
believes he has not so far concealed the faults as to give only 
a distorted view of the virtues of his kinsmen. 

It was the writer's purpose to introduce a special appendix 
on military service of the De Wolf family, and consequent 
eligibility of living descendants to the various Patriotic Socie- 
ties. The result of attempts to get exact information upon 
the subject, makes it doubtful if the treatment could be suffi- 
ciently accurate and cemprehensive, while the work has been 
so extended in other directions, that neither time nor space 
permits. He has contented himself with accasionally noting 
military service reported to him under names as they occur, 
and must leave the rest to his readers. The descendants of 
Simon De Wolf and those of his uncles as well, (LI.) would be 
eligible to the Society of Colonial Wars ; the descendants of 
Mark Anthony, through his active service on the Prince 
Charles of Lorraine. So too, of Mark Anthony's descendants, 
those who descend from the Bradfords and Le Barons ; i. e., 
the descendants of his son James, and his two grandsons, 
George and Charles, would be entitled to membership in the 
Colonial Wars, the Colonial Governors, and The Mayflower 
Society ; the last both through Governor William Bradford, 
of Plymouth, and through Richard W^arren. A much greater 
number than can be indicated, would be eligible as sons 
or daughters of the American Revolution. Such are the 
Perrys of both the James De Wolf descent and the Nancy 
Kinnicutt descent. The former branches of the Perrys 
could claim membership in the S. A. R. through Capt. C. 
R. Perry; and the Society of War, 181 2, through Capt. R. 
H. Perry. The services of members of the family in our 
country's more recent wars, have had frequent mention in the 
course of the narrative.

100 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

Many De Wolf veterans of the Civil War are still living. 
Younger men served in the Spanish War. Sometimes whole 
families consist of veterans of the Civil War, as in the case of 
Dr. John De Wolf, of Providence, all of whose sons were in the 
Union Army. An interesting volume could be written of 
thrilling adventure, of warlike deeds, and bravery of many 
who yet live "to tell the tale." The writer in boyhood had 
heard from his mother's lips tales of the Revolution, as related 
by her aunt, Mrs. Gen. James M. Varnum, who lived to mend 
the baby socks of her oldest boy. From the lips of that same 
baby grown to mature manhood, the oldest brother of the 
writer, Major R. H. Perry, he has heard frequently in later 
years no less thrilling tales of service on the stail of Gen- 
eral "Phil Sheridan," of the Reconstruction Period, when 
Military Chief of Police at Galveston, Texas, of watching the 
movements of Maximilian in Mexico, or of strange State 
secrets that read like chapters of Venetian history, with which 
he was connected as Consul at Santo Domingo during the 
administration of President Grant. But these chapters hardly 
find a legitimate place in a genealogy. Future annalists of the 
family must record the brave deeds of those now living, and 
adorn their pages with their portraits. In order not to become a 
veritable photographic album, the illustrations of this volume 
have been chiefly confined to the older generations. We make 
an exception to give a group of young soldier boys — none of 
them now living — that they may bear witness that not alone 
the older generations bear the palm for beauty or for bravery. 
The writer knows many a brave living veteran deserving a 
place by their side, but he has followed the wise counsel of 
one of his distinguished young cousins, Mr. Dana Gibson, him- 
self a son of one of the soldier group, to devote this volume 
to the record of the deeds, and the presentation of the portraits 
of our ancestors, leaving to those who come after the work of 
doing justice to the living. If the writer's labor of several 
years shall cause the sons and daughters of to-day in any 
degree to emulate the virtues, while shunning the shortcom- 
ings of their forefathers, he may gratefully close his task with 

Laus Deo. 




THE RIGHT REV. MARK ANTHONY DE WOLF HOWE, D.D. (iS6) 

First Bishop of Central Pennsylvania. 

Consecrated Dec. 28, 1871. 

Born April 5, 1808; Died July 31, 1895. 



THE RIGHT REV. MARK ANTHONY DE WOLF HOWE, D. D. 
FIRST BISHOP OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. 



A Biographical Sketch by his son M. A. DeW. Howe. 



Mark Anthony De Wolfe Howe was born in Bristol, R. I., 
April 5, 1808, the only son of John and Louisa (Smith) Howe. 
Through his father he traced direct descent to James Howe, 
who came from England to Roxbury in 1637, and settled the 
next year in Ipswich. When Bristol was settled in 1680, the 
first town clerk was Richard Smith, the ancestor of Mrs. John 
Howe. The mother of John Howe was Abigail D'Wolf, a 
daughter of Mark Anthony D'Wolf and sister of Captain (and 
United States Senator) James D'Wolf. A full inheritance of 
Massachusett's blood and Rhode Island traditions was thus 
transmitted to the subject of this sketch. 

Of his schooling in the Bristol Academy, at Phillips- 
Andover, South Kingston and Taunton, it is not necessary to 
speak in detail. It prepared him to enter Middlebury College, 
Vermont, which at the end of two years he left to become a 
member of the junior class at Brown University, his father's 
alma mater. Here he graduated in 1828, with the honor that 
belongs to a class poet, and the sense, destined to live through 
all his years, of a large personal debt to the influence of Pres- 
ident Francis Wayland. 

Before he decided to enter the ministry there were several 
years of teaching — in the public schools of Boston and as tutor 
in Latin at Brown University — preceded by a beginning at the 
study of law in his father's office. But while he taught at 
Brown, his studies for the ministry, directed by the Rev. John 
Bristed, son-in-law of John Jacob Astor, and father of the 
graceful writer, Charles Astor Bristed, were in progress. In 
January of 1832 he was ready to receive deacon's orders, 
administered in St. Michael's by Bishop Griswold of the East- 
ern Diocese, his spiritual father in an intimate sense peculiar 
to the time and place. 

After a brief term of service at St. Matthew's Church, South 
Boston, Mr. Howe, before the end of 1832, became rector of 
the new parish of St. James, Roxbury. Except for a period of 
nine months, spent in charge of the historic Christ Church, 



102 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 



Cambridge — the "nun" of Dr. Holmes' familiar poem — lie 
retained the rectorship of the Roxbury parish until 1846. The 
dignified stone building still used for its worship, after nearly 
seventy years, is one of the monuments of his ministry there. 
In his own later life the ties of early work, friendship and 
affection served to fix permanently for him the New England 
standards which he carried in 1846 to the rectorship of St. 
Luke's Church, Philadelphia. 

To the conduct of this young parish, soon to become a vital 
power in the life of Philadelphia, he brought also the ripened 
energies of manhood. For twenty-six years he guided the 
many activities of his people with signal effect. Of his per- 
sonal influence it is best to let one of his parishoners speak : 
"Strong in his convictions, but never arbitrary; deep in his 
realization of things divine and eternal, yet genial and humor- 
ous, never sad, but always sympathetic, dignified; but coming 
close to the hearts of his people— surely his was a rare nature, 
and one to leave its impress, as it did, upon high and low, rich 
and poor, in that large congregation." 

Of the power of any man's preaching the best proof lies in 
the results. Another quotation, then — from the sermon of 
the Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, of New York, to commemorate 
the life and services of Bishop Howe — may be permitted: 
"One there is — may he venture to repeat here what he said 
in his own Diocese ?— who will most surely never forget him. 
A wayward youth, sitting once in St. Luke's Church in Phil- 
adelphia, hears the man who was your first Bishop preach a 
sermon from the text, * Young man, I say unto thee arise! ' Its 
impression never left him— the clear, close, faithful message, 
searching, personal, awakening, starting in him a train of 
thought and emotion that, touched a little later by another 
hand, changed the whole current of his life. Is it violating the 
most'delicate reserve if he recalls that debt to-day, and owns 
that he has been glad and thankful for the privilege of coming 
here and laying thus the tribute of his love and gratitude upon 
your Bishop's grave." 

But preaching and parish work were by no means the limit 
of his activities. In the counsels of the church at large, he 
played an important part. Sent first, in 1850, as a delegate to 
the General Convention, he held, for the twelve following 
years, the post of Secretary of the House of Deputies. In 



HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 103 

committee work outside the convention, he was one of those 
who, meeting under his roof at Bristol in 1859 and again in 
1865, laid the foundation for the present Hymnal of the 
church. In other years he was delegated to travel through the 
north and west and speak for the cause of missions. Nor were 
literary labors wanting. In the summer of 1870, at the instance 
of the family of his beloved bishop and friend who had died 
five years before, he completed the Memoirs of the Life and 
Services of the Rt. Rev. Alonzo Potter, D.D., LL.D. (Philadel- 
phia, 1871. J. B. Lippincott & Co.) 

In 187 1, Dr. Howe was elected bishop of the new diocese of 
Central Pennsylvania. The acceptance of this charge moved 
his residence from Philadelphia to Reading, where it remained 
till the last summer of his life. The work of organizing a 
diocese of magnificent distances and, in many parts, of sparse 
settlement, might have overtaxed the strength of a younger 
man. Beginning it at the age of sixty-four, he spared himself 
through none biit the last few of his twenty-three remaining 
years. The fruits of his labors were an effective and harmoni- 
ous organization, and the strength which any such body derives 
from the loyal following of a leader who is also a personal 
friend. 

In the spring of 1895, Bishop Howe felt that the time had come 
for committing all this leadership to his successor. Accordingly 
he removed to his well-beloved home, Weetamoe Farm at 
Bristol, Rhode Island, where on the 31st of July, 1895, he died. 

It is in this home that his immediate family and his kinsmen 
— for whom especially these words are written — love best to 
remember him. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else, he 
gave and enjoyed the pleasures of hospitality in fullest meas- 
ure. His love for the place of his birth, and for all those to 
whom the tie of common blood bound him closely or remotely, 
was an essential element of his nature. A wonderfully reten- 
tive memory made his mind a store-house of local and family 
tradition. Travel and wide acquaintance never moved from 
the first place in his heart the scenes of Bristol and his interest 
in her sons and daughters. This brief outline of his life, there- 
fore, recording the chief events of eighty-seven years truly 
devoted to the service of his fellowmen in many places, should 
rightly end where it began — at Bristol.

Descendants of Charles D'Wolf of Guadaloupe, French 
West Indies, being of the Fourth Generation from 
Balthasar de Wolf of Lyme, Conn. 

GENERATION V. 
1 

Charles* De Wolf, m. (in Guadaloupe) March 31, 1717, Mar- 
garet Potter. 
Charles was b. at Lyme, Conn., 1695. He emigrated to 
Guadaloupe as a millwright and probably trader, in early man- 
hood, where he married and probably remained till his death. 

2 Simon, b. March 8, 1719; d. Jan. 17, 1762. 

3 Prudence, b. April 26, 1721. 

4 Sarah, b. Sept. 27, 1724. 

5 Mark Anthony, b. Nov. 8, 1726; d. Nov. 9, 1793. 

Of the two daughters nothing is known. Simon returned, 
a lad, to his grandfather Charles (IX), who resided at Glaston- 
bury, Conn., later at Middletown, bringing the foreign pro- 
nunciation of the name D'Olf ; hence many of his descendants 
have adopted the spelling Dolph. Mark Anthony, the younger 
son, educated in a French school at Guadaloupe, was brought 
some time previous to 1744, as a young man of about 17, by Capt. 
Simeon Potter in one of his ships to Bristol, R. I., where he 
settled, marrying Capt. Potter's sister Abigail. "Speaking 
several languages he became Capt. Potter's clerk, in which 
capacity he sailed several voyages." He wrote the name with 
the French contraction, D'Wolf, as the writer has assumed his 
father had done in Guadaloupe.

BRANCH I. 

GENERATION IV. (FROM BALTHAZAR). 

Simeon* De Wolf (xlvii.), m. July 23, i74i,Parnell Kirtland, 
b. Lyme, Connecticut, 17 13. dau. of Nathaniel 

Kirtland and 
Phoebe (Marvin) 
De Wolf. 

In March, 1745, Simeon was appointed an officer of the 
expedition to capture Louisburg under Major-General Roger 
Wolcott. After the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, the 
English Governors encouraged New England people to settle 
in Nova Scotia, and Simeon De Wolf went to Grand Pr^, in 
1761, with his wife and family. On May 29, 1764, these first 
three settlers, Simeon, Nathan and Jehiel, received a first-class 
allotment of five hundred acres, consisting of wood lands, farm 
lots and dyke lands, all of which are clearly designated in the 
survey of the township. On Sept. 30th of the same year, they 
received a license to alienate four hundred and fifty acres 
each. These privileges gave them the most valuable and 
picturesque land in the village, which was later named Wolfe- 
ville in their honor. They were the leading men of the time; 
their descendants held high positions in the Canadian Prov- 
inces and in England. Of those who remained in Nova Scotia, 
eight were elected at various times as members of the provin- 
cial Parliament. We find others filling positions of Judges of 
the County Courts, Judges of the Probate, Justices of the Peace, 
High Sheriffs, Postmasters and Collectors of Customs. Many 
of them moved to the United States. 

Simeon died m Wolfville, N. S., in Dec, 1780. His wife 
lived until Oct., 1807, aged eighty-four. They are buried in 
Wolfville, N. S.

240 HISTORY OF THE DE WOLF FAMILY. 

in name, noble in looks, noble in nature, and noble altog-ether." 
She had a delicate kind of beauty, fine well-cut features, clear 
blue eyes and a face full of strength and sweetness. Her mind 
was like a crystal in its clearness and purity; her common 
sense and her judgment remarkable. She was in girlhood a 
gay-spirited creature, and no sorrow or trouble ever quenched 
that fine spirit. Her courage, her patience never failed. Her 
devotion to her husband, to her children, to the church and to 
the poor, was unceasing. Early in her married life she became 
deeply religious. It can truly be said of her that she lived 
"as seeing Him who is invisible." 

Her husband. Job Pingree, died July 2, 1878. They are 
buried at Forest Hills, near Jamaica Plain, where they lived 
for so iiiany years. He was a man of great kindliness of heart, 
strong religious feeling, upright and honorable to a rare degree 
in his business relations, genial and hospitable in his home 
life, interested in the great questions of the day both here and 
abroad.

Note. — Limited space necessitates omitting Mr. O, J. De Wolf's conclu- 
sive defence of making (as above), Peter, Sarah and Joseph (16, 17, 18), 
children of Peter and Sarah (Couch) De Wolf (see 6), instead of child- 
ren of Matthew and Esther (Higley) De Wolf (see 12), as do the Salis- 
bury Chart and other Genealogies, The reader is referred to his own 
recently published work (see p. 95). In brief, his argument is : 

1. Peter De Wolf (16) was born (established by Rec. Pension Ofifice) 
1753, hence Matthew De Wolf, b. 1744, and Esther Higley, b. 1743, could 
not be his parents. 

2. Miss Cynthia Pelton, granddaughter of Joseph (18) now living, aged 
eighty, distinctly remembers her grandparents telling the singular coinci- 
dence that the names of the parents of both were Peter and Sarah, and she 
personally knew Mrs. Lucy (Couch) Morey, sister of her grandmother, 
Sarah Couch. 

3. Grandchildren of Joseph (18) remember his saying he was born on 
land that belonged to no State. Such a piece, called the " Wedge," near 
Granby, was long in dispute between Massachusetts and Connecticut. 
Deeds are on record from John Strickland (1755) to Matthew De Wolf, of 
Bolton, from the latter to his sons Peter, Ezra and Edward; and from Peter 
conveying land on the "Wedge" to his son Joseph. 

If corroboration of such conclusive arguments were needed, it is fur- 
nished by letters of Dr. T. K. De Wolf (among those kindly sent the author 
by Mrs. Salisbury), which read: " My father had only two brothers, Ezekiel 
and Russell;" again, "I well remember my grandmother, Esther Higley." 
Mr. Samuel De Wolf (Chicago, June 6, 1884), then aged eighty-four, writes 
Mrs. Salisbury that at the time of his father, Joseph's death, "the family 
lived on a "wedge" of land lying between Connecticut and Massachusetts, 
not covered by the Charter of either State. He speaks of his grandmother 
Couch: " There are five children that I remember, four sons and a daughter; 
Samuel, Peter, Joseph and Bethuel. Samuel and Bethuel went to upper 
Canada; Joseph and Peter to Ohio." He refers to his father's marriage to 
Sarah Gibbons, of Granville, and of their thirteen children.

A great part of this Appendix, after it was compiled with 
the valuable assistance of Mrs. E. R. Smith and Mr. Geo. A.

hoped that Mrs. Smith's very valuable collection will yet be 
published.

after the town was settled, of Ezra, Edward, Margaret, Han- 
nah and Deborah Perry, who are believed to be brothers and

ried (i) 1640; on the death of his wife, returned to England;

spirit. He reminds us of the border men of Scotland." " He 
had no equal in conducting war against the Indians."
